Don't bother writing some.  Just port Audacity
(http://audacity.sourceforge.net/).  It currently supports linux and
*BSD on x86, and PPC on MacOSX, so it should be pretty cross platform
safe already.  All you would need to do would be to add support for the
way SGI handles audio.

Audacity does mulitrack audio nicely from what little I've seen with it,
except for one thing.  It doesn't attempt to adjust for recording lag.
That should be such an easy thing to do, but they don't believe in it
for some reason.
