You may try mhwaveedit (http://gna.org/projects/mhwaveedit/). It's
available via apt-get on ubuntu. It's simple yet very nice and
accessible sound editor. After installing it don't forget to change
the output from jack to alsa in a preferences dialog and restart the
program. After that you're ready to go. There are two other sound
editors, gnusound and snd which are somewhat accessible but I failed
to do anything useful with them.

HTH,

Sergei.
