Ardour
A complete open source audio workstation for Linux. It can be compiled from source, or fully functional pre-built binaries may be available in some cases from your distribution's main or optional package repository.
SoX
SOX (Sound Exchange) is a great command-line tool for converting between different audio formats and applying certain effects.
Ecasound
I recommend we remove this from the list
Command line app that does multi-track recording, mixing, and realtime effects processing.
GNUsound
I recommend we remove this from the list
A multi-track sound editor for GNOME 1 and 2.
Rezound
I recommend we remove this from the list
Aims to be a stable, open source, and graphical audio file editor primarily for but not limited to the Linux operating system.
Sweep
I recommend we remove this from the list
But I do like "Scrubby" - you need to look at the webpage to see ...
An audio editor and live playback tool.
abc2midi
As with Mac, I recommend we remove this from the list
Can be used to create midi and karaoke files. Other abc notation programs can create sheet music (such as abcm2ps) or convert midi files to abc notation (such as midi2abc).
Timidity
As with the related Windows page, as with Mac I recommend we remove this from the list
Useful to convert a midi file into a wav file that can then be edited with Audacity. You can use soundfonts from sites like Freepats (which has Open Source sound samples and soundfonts) to customize instrument sounds in Timidity.
