SoundStudio looks very user friendly.  However, I
don't seem to actually be able to record anything with
it.  It does let me go through the motions of
recording (depress the record button and watch the
time elapse), but nothing ever shows up in the "plot"
area, the VU meter shows no activity, and there's no
sound upon playback. I did check to make sure that I
had the microphone radio button selected for recording
and that I had the gain turned up.

If I try to load a .au or .wav file for playback, I
get an error message saying 'Error: couldn't execute
"/usr/lib/SoundStudio/Linux/sox": no such file or
directory'

I checked and indeed there is no directory by the name
of Linux or linux under /usr/lib/SoundStudio.  I went
and looked at a package called sox-12.17.1-3, but it
does not install any files under /usr/lib, so I am
stumped.
