A few days ago, don570 reported mhWaveEdit sound recorder and editor not working properly:

Thanks to Jon (scsijon in the forum), who found a couple of alternatives, including gWaveEdit:

gWaveEdit is a fork of mhWaveEdit, and 'wdlkmpx' is a long-time contributor to Puppy Linux.

I have compiled gWaveEdit in OpenEmbedded and tested it works. Commit:

The package is now in the package-list for EasyOS:

Another bug bites the dust. Now, what's next...
