I pulled this from fedora-scm and built locally here a couple of days 
ago and so far the little use I've given it with jack seems pretty stable.

The functions I used were standard wave editing: splitting stereo 
tracks, joining mono tracks fade in fade out, applying reverb using 
ladspa, saving to WAV and FLAC. Also recording from an outside source. 
So far so good. I'd recommend pushing to testing, you can always pull it 
if people report problems.
