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
