Is there anything similar for non-destructive audio production except for Ecasound [1], Nama [2], Csound or SoX?

There was an interesting paper about SPED, a sound file editor [3], but I'm afraid this was just a proposal. And AudioRegent [4], and a few links, somewhere, to using makefiles in audio production, but I've lost track on these.

A quote from the SPED paper:

    "The editor should be usable without graphical user
    interface or it should not make any assumptions about 
    it.
    This feature may seem strange if we think of the modern
    computer based editing systems which basically always
    have some kind of graphical user interface. On the other
    hand when comparing to analogue tape splicing one
    might ask how mandatory the graphical user interface
    really is."
I've been thinking that a CLI audio editor (slicer, re-organizer) with a syntax similar to ed or sam [5] would be cool to experiment with. Imagine a CLI non-destructive digital audio editor built on top of a RPi or similar, running headless, only needing a tiny conrtol panel with a few buttons; maybe hooked to a tiny e-ink display for emergencies.

(Yep, love sound editing; tired of screens or laptops in bags. I would love an "iPod Nano of non-destructive digital audio editing", but I am not the man to build one myself.)
