Do we have a clear vision about what one should do/does to an audio segment 
using external editor?

If we do, maybe it's time to favor some kde based editor as runtime dependency 
(like we do with lilypond). It should be light weight of course. And config 
option should be kept, too. KWave perhaps?

Just a thought...
