ive mentioned it a few times on #lad when people were discussing one of the two. i dont see a reason to expend effort to make to _more_ free wave editors work right when one already does :)

in general it was brokenness related to connecting to jack/alsa (eg hear a blip of sound then crash), opening weird files such as wav64 or aiff, and silly wx/gtk/qt slightly-different-version induced things. iow, not too exciting, but enough to stop the show..

that, and that obnoxious 'paper-clip guy' thing. wtf!
