[LAU] Audio editor for editing a 90-minute-long file?

It is very easy to do that in Snd. Snd also handles large files
appropriately (by reading from harddisk while playing and using cached 
peak files). Using snd-ls, you can just mark the area you want in a new 
file, and right click, select copy to new or save selection.
