Audacity (as discussed in another thread) is free for both
Mac & Linux and does plugins, multiple tracks, high resolution,
simple analysis, uses LAME for MP3s and is continually worked on.

Another special purpose editor is Rogue Amoeba's Fission, which
works on blocks, so handles lossy compressed formats directly
without have to convert them to PCM and recompress on output.
So it's handy for trimming, splitting, etc.  And AudioHighjack Pro
is my favorite 2-channel recorder.
