Audacity is a multitrack/recording free audio editor. It started a few years back as a simple sound editor, but since then it has evolved in a powerfull modern editor, by supporting multi-track recording. The stable 1.0 version was released only a few days ago.

What defines a dead OS – good question!!! Is Win98 a dead OS because MS isn’t developing it anymore (even though Win98 until recently was the biggest MS OS out there)?
BeOS is not being developed by Be (or Palm) anymore, but the OS lives on because of initiatives such as OBOS. And applications are consequently still being developed and released for the platform.
One important thing to keep in mind with the development of OBOS, is the fact that OBOS R1 is a recreation of BeOS R5 (of course with a few updates ;-). They have all the API calls designed, and performance and usability is already defined. The future of OBOS is being developed while R1 is in the works. They have a unique opportunity of bench testing and debugging the OS, because as each kit is finished they are installed on BeOS R5.
These issues are IMO a once in a lifetime situation for OS development, and it insures quality and will lead to an OS that won’t end as a geek OS with lacking support.
