Try xmms - best lightweight player for Linux. It is not longer in the repos (I am not referring to xmms2) but their are debs available for easy install. This thread will help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1019121&page=2

Just a note:
Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/) is a Free/Open Source sound editing application. Think "GarageBand."
Audacious(http://audacious-media-player.org/) is a Free/Open Source audio player application. Think "Winamp."

Oops - you are so correct and xmms is a replacement for audacious not audacity.

sorry about that

I haven't tried many of these, but it seems there are several alternatives whether you want an Audacity replacement or an Audacious replacement:

the best editor ive ever used is sound forge, its on windows tho, bt if you can run it under wine or in a virtual windows terminal i highly recommend it, especially if your chopping samples

how about

rezound

it is lightweight, and not audacity

the first time you start it you need to start it from the terminal, for the licence aggreement

Try ardour, it is a real professional quality recording suite.

ardour is not and audio editor, it is a DAW, and hard to use. I use it, but not for editing
