Somebody scribbled about [expert] Alternatives to editing mp3/ogg files in 
Audacity?

2 gigs is a pretty safe limit. OTOH I've seen that audacity requires a ton 
of disk space. Maybe your disk space is low without your realizing it? I 
did some editing last week and although i have plenty of space in /tmp 
where these were stored, I did a check and found it using over 2 gigs - 
many audio files. it seems audacity breaks the input into as many 
megabyte-sized .au chunks as is needed for what you are doing, and if you 
need undo's etc you'll need more than 2 gigs free depending on the size.
