(Get the code!)
Jimmy, the example was supposed to bring in another player which makes the mysterious file occur.
In ~/ the file only occured on shutdown. Since I almost never shutdown except a new kernel or else asked me to I haven't seen the file in a while.
True is that this file never got my attention on any Ubuntu until 12.04, but perhaps it was there all along and only ephemeral in /tmp or somewhere else since the manual says "it's a base class for writing output".
Seems it does some kind of file operation monitoring.

Another reproducable test case shows that .goutputstream* is created in the target directory when a copy operation was terminated.
Nautilus two pane view, use context menu to copy a large (>1gb) file from left to right pane, it has the same title so you've been asked to replace, yes, start to copy and then terminate the copy operation by click on the cross of the dialog window.
It creates a .goutputstream* file.
In 2009 it was considered as bug in glib (gio), unfortunately no bug number available.
