I guess at the time I was thinking mostly of ecasound and sox, both of
which I've used very little, but every time I do I'm quite impressed as
to how much they encompass:
Ecasound documentation:
http://www.wakkanet.fi/~kaiv/ecasound/Documentation/examples.html
With this you can concatenate, mix, etc.
Sox - pitch shifting, time stretching, filtering, applying effects, etc.
Since you weren't terribly interested in the GUI based apps (I guessed
they weren't quite doing what you were thinking of doing) I thought I'd
suggest these.
Good luck,
Mark
