I've got sweep on my machine at the moment.
It is a really cool app. The cueing and editing with 'scrubby' and the 
non-modal interface are sorted.  More apps like this please!
It lacks real time preview of LADSPA plugins, which is kinda annoying, but for 
editing audio files, there is nothing else on Linux to touch it. IMHO :)

I want to get more people into using Linux and the free audio apps, cos most 
people I know use warzed versions of Windows ones, and run into problems that 
I don't get when using legit Linux apps that do the same job.
For instance, problems with the broken CD writing stuff with writing proper 
red-book CDs in windows. The Linux apps (even the humble cdrecord) stick to 
the standards, so you dont get CDs rejected by manufacturers when they try to 
create the glass masters.  Can be done in windows, just as well, but it's 
££££, or dodgy software.

Simple solution for me, use Linux. Not so simple to convince others!
