Sonic visualiser [1] is rather nice, and configurable (and of course 
does much more than sonograms). As it's designed as an analysis tool it 
doesn't work with 'live' input though.

A while ago Cédric Roux (a.k.a. Sed) wrote Spectrojack [2] starting from 
a similar search request I made for open source (and horizontal) 
scrolling sonogram which would work for Jack - live. The programme is 
very configurable and has various colormaps.

I just tested and it still compiles and works on my Debian. I only 
needed to patch the Makefile with the attached patch and have all the 
installed the dependencies.

Lorenzo.
