Hi, I have written a front-end to ecasound for basic audio editing called dae digital audio editor. It has its share of bugs, but that is what I use for my audio editing from the console. I have done it at work, so it is a bit of a story to get it released. When I do, it will be GPL2. It is good for cutting up sound files and editing out unwanted parts. The inserting of sound in the middle of a file also works from both a file and from the sound card, but it is slow. If people are interested, I can send the manual in plain text to the list for a better feature list. Dae can currently not be used to add effects.
