from scanning the manual (haven't used the program) the answers are
probably, yes, yes, and i dunno. additionally, iirc, soundforge has had
cut-lists and play-lists for some time now.
in anycase, you can probably see if any of these features are in an
editor without a manual by downloading and using it for a few minutes.

this is usually said because users, having access to the source, can
put those features in themselves or pay someone to put features in for
them. any of the features you listed above wouldn't be hard to hack
into a program yourself.
