The best FLOSS soundfile editor I found was Rezound, however it has not been active since 2007 so I don't know how up to date it is anymore. One huge problem was that its JACK support was/is crap.

If you are one of those scripty kinds of kids, then you could check out snd:

Of course the Ardour/Jamin package for multitracking and mastering is unbeatable:

And two fun toys to play with:

Hi,
I'm trying once more ubuntu on my thinkpad laptop, this time maverick. So far things are going well, pdext+jack+ardour (from source) are working, and the system didn't break down after some days of setup+work (which is more than last time).
As I'm not up to date on ubuntu, I wanted to ask about suggestions for audio software suited for quality work. I would be looking for a sound editor, ladspa/lv2 effects (specially good EQs), etc. etc.
Also any other sugestions for small aplications that make life easier (e.g. extra menus, file management, mp3/ogg players/converters, ...) are welcome.
If anyone also uses a thinkpad and has a way of seting up the trackpoint, I would be interested to know.
Thanks,
João Pais
