Ardour can do this, you can audition files using the import external
audio dialog. I also do this kind of thing by turning on the
pulseaudio jack sink and using the Gnome file browser (at least in
Ubuntu Studio 11.04) and single clicking files, they will play back
right there, great way to audition files.
