mbrubeck writes "After almost two years of development, the free cross-platform sound editor Audacity has released a new stable version for Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows. Audacity 1.2 has major improvements including professional-quality dithering and resampling, and new pitch- and speed-changing effects. Our previous stable release was announced on Slashdot in June 2002. More recently, Audacity was presented at this year's CodeCon in San Francisco."

Just make a package yourself and send it as a contrib. What's with the pathetic 'hoping'?

Eh? What in tarnation?!

You do realize that Audacity is merely an open-source program re-implementing the ideas and interface of venerable sound editing programs such as SoundEdit 16 and Peak, don't you?

It's not cutting edge, y'know. It's merely an OSS + Linux-ized version of software that exists quite readily in the commercial world for The Big Two OSes. To call it a "model" is just a mite bit uninformed.
