This is *one* type of software that I can find no good Linux-substitute
for, even for simple cut/paste sound sample editing.

I've used SoundStudio and EcaWave, which both really sucked, interface-wise
and feature-wise.

I haven't used Audacity, but you might try it; in fact, there are a couple
of packages I haven't used which showed up on a Freshmeat search.

One thing to beware of when downloading these packages: many of them
require external packages to do the actual editing... SoundStudio wants
sox, EcaWave wants the EcaSound libraries, and on and on...

Later,
Paul

   It's amazing what a little brain damage will do for your credibility.
