[ale] More on Linus Audio File editing...

[aaron]

A couple weeks back I recommended the very capable and reasonably stable 
"audacity" program  <audacity.sourceforge.net/> as one of the better wav 
and audio file editing programs for Linux, but I may have hunted down 
something better.

While working on editing and assembling a custom CD for a dance program I 
went exploring the OSS options again and came accross a substantially 
more impressive solution called "WaveSurfer" 
<http://www.speech.kth.se/wavesurfer/intro.html>.
(Version 1.3.1 is available as Linux binary tgz download which works fine 
on my RH 7.2 / PIII system. Source is available as well.)

WaveSurfer has a very sophisticated Tk/Tcl based interface with lots of 
display and datagram options. The manual hardly scratches the surface, 
though, so it takes some exploring to uncover all the cool controls this 
one offers.

I will still keep Audacity around as it still seems better suited to 
multi track mixing, but I'll definitely be using WaveSurfer to edit and 
process those tracks!

peace
