 Is there a program which will convert a sound file into a text

 would be a good route to go in order to import the data from a
 sound file into a math manipulation program, e.g. octave, maxima,
 Matlab, Mathcad, Gnumeric, etc.   If not, this would seem to be
 a good enhancement for SoX, or Audacity, or any sound file editor. 
 A quick google search suggests that there is already a way to load wav
 files into octave directly.  I would be surprised if there wasn't,
 really. 
Which reminds me: modern modular synths like Pd or SuperCollider could
be considered to be "math manipulation programs" themselves.
