Subject: Sweep 0.5.9 -- Scrubby Speex!
Sweep 0.5.9 Development Release
===============================
Sweep is an audio editor and live playback tool for GNU/Linux, BSD and
compatible systems. It supports many music and voice formats including
WAV, AIFF, Ogg Vorbis, Speex and MP3, with multichannel editing and
LADSPA effects plugins. Inside lives a pesky little virtual stylus called
Scrubby who enjoys mixing around in your files.
This development release is available as a source tarball at:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/sweep/sweep-0.5.9.tar.gz?download
Sweep now supports Speex, a special purpose speech codec designed for
efficient Voice over IP (VoIP) and file-based compression. Speex is free,
open and unpatented; more information is available at http://www.speex.org/.
This release also includes improved handling of the main volume and pitch
controls, contributed by Zenaan Harkness.

almost everything you would expect in a sample editor, and then some:

* internationalisation
* multichannel and 32 bit floating point PCM file support
* support for Ogg Vorbis, MP3 and Speex compressed audio files
* LADSPA 1.1 effects support
* multiple views, discontinuous selections
* easy keybindings, mouse wheel zooming
* unlimited undo/redo with fully revertible edit history
