Hi Dan, I use Mhwaveedit when I need a lightweight waveform viewer/player. For playing with other software, Mhwaveedit has a pipe-through-program option. You can also look here for something better. http://linux-sound.org/one-page.html Most audio editors for Linux "play with other software" via JACK, MIDI, OSC, LADSPA and/or LV2. Giving an example of what you want to do would help. The authoritative forum for audio-related questions is the Linux Audio User mailing list. cheers, Joel > > dan > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
