rezound if I recall correctly, but really there is little reason to
use anything other than ardour for audio editing on linux, it will do
loops as you trim them in real time, plus so much more. The only
problem with ardour is that it does so much and the user interface
doesn't really give you many hints (ie. control-middle-click on a
object for midi learn).
