Thank you both for your replies. I recovered "Sonic Visualiser"
http://sonicvisualiser.org, which also offers analysis and batch
annotation operations via available plugins.

Also interesting seems the forth and back conversion between audio and
spectrogram.
http://arss.sourceforge.net/

My request was not about re-inventing audio editing, but although I
found some interesting tools and options, much seems to be only GUI
based or otherwise limited.

I'll try the RAW-Idea Gabriel mentioned though. SoX might be much more
suitable for automated wav -> raw conversion but I'll have to see.

Best Regards,
Rainer
