nautilus (gnome file browser) auditions audio files on mouse-over (either using gstreamer or totem-audio-preview).

https://github.com/ayyi/Samplecat does 1 click audition, remembers/highlights /previewed/ files and
can be used manage an archive: wave-form display, tags, peak-level, spectral analysis,...
samples can also be triggered via MIDI keyboard and transposed or speed-changed.
The downside: initial import of large libraries takes quite a while; but it runs in the background.

ardour, qtractor et al are also up to the job. YMMV.
