Maybe I missed them in this thread, but what about tools like Audacity and 
Jack?  For that matter, most of the multimedia apps bundled in the Ubuntu 
Studio distro probably deserve a look. 
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
http://jackaudio.org/
http://ubuntustudio.org/ and package list at 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/PackageList

Also, I was at Podcamp Boston 2 a week ago- as you might expect the crowd 
was heavily Mac users, but I was appalled by the lack of awareness of Open 
Source and the almost dismissive attitude towards free (and Free) packages 
such as Audacity.  These folks all "get" Creative Commons licenses, DRM 
problems and such- but seem to miss the idea of Open Source. 

I would like to chat with anyone working with Open Source audio apps so that 
I can learn and then help spread the word.
