As nobody did mention GLAME yet: GLAME has a audio file editor component
that is capable of handling large files, unlimited (well, configure that)
undo/redo and has an at least usable user interface. Its functionality
is at least comparable to those of Sweep and gnoise (I dont know
audiacity) and its stable (the wave editing component - at least, we dont
get it crashing, others might). Try out the 0.5.2 snapshot.
