Sweep is more stable the gwc.

Gwc works for me on rh9 + ccrma. How does it fail for you?

It has bug related to cutting out sections that aren't exactly at the front of
the end of a sample. I mean to take a look at it. I like gwc because it loads
files twice as fast as sweep (I imagine it mmaps them because it saves files
with only end truncation instantly) and my files are 1/2GB...

I think you might be working manually for hiccups and sneezes unless they
are always louder than the desired content. If so you could make some
samples available and I'll try to automate something to attenuate them.

There are a ton of LADSPA plugins thet I haven't wrapped my head around
yet, including at least 3 compressors.
