When it comes to ripping and burning cd/dvds there are a couple good and
accessible graphical tools i know of. We have Gnome-baker for cd
manipulation, Sound juicer and Grip should work for ripping even if Grip
is a little ahem special when it comes to exact selection of tracks for
ripping. If it's a matter of audio editing, though, i don't know of
anything which leads me to ask if any work is made for example in Ubuntu
for making sound editing programs work for us?
I've seen an early version of JoKosher and that looks pretty good when
it gets ready and then we have Ardour Ii which isn't yet released but
it'll build on Gtk2 so it sounds promising. Ardour is a program for both
midi and audio manipulation.
 But i wonder if there's a soundforge-like program under Linux
accessible or not, and if it isn't accessible if it can be made accessible?
