Do this.  If you have a sparc with solaris and 16bit sound, download
audacity, install the dependecies, and see if it will compile out of
box with GCC.  From what I can see, all you need are glib, gtk, and
wxwindows.  You might get lucky and have it just work.

This probably would be well within my skill set to port, if I had a
machine to use.  Or ever just a monitor to hook up to my SS classic (I
think this should do the job, albeit maybe not quickly).

It does do multiple tracks.  If you record and playback at the same
time, you will have to manually timeshift the recording to sink with
the original track since it doesn't automatically compensate for
this.  

As to looping, well, it is possible to do looping, but I don't really
know what you are after, so you may or may not like it.
