i would consider a much more fundamental problem with
sweep (which the
author has plans to fix at some point) is the assumption that the
audio data will fit in memory. this just isn't viable for working with
"music" rather than "audio clips".
gnoise doesn't do this, and neither does snd. i am
not sure about
audacity, but i suspect it doesn't either.
I regularly edit 2 hour 44.1k stereo 16bit files with Audacity. Sweep looks
really really good -- but won't open that size file. Audacity has a bug in
its handling of that size file, which I need to report when I have time to
write it up properly, but it's something I can work around easily enough.
