It looks like the script you linked to first requires both sox and gnuplot, is that right? This is quite amazing and is just what I was looking for! Does this require a window manager?

Hi Jane
I search a little on 'audio waveform image' found this one:
works just fine under Ben Nanonote:
http://linuxwebdev.blogspot.com/2006/03/plot-wav-file-wav2png.html
attach is one png file I created by nanonote.
BTW:
there is one option on sox can direct output png file: 'spectrogram'
http://sox.sourceforge.net/sox.html
but I didn't make it work under ben nanonote.
also there is another option on 'sox' --plot. I have tested in nanonote. works fine
--plot gnuplot|octave|off
If not set to off (the default if --plot is not given), run in a
mode that can be used, in conjunction with the gnuplot program
or the GNU Octave program, to assist with the selection and con-
figuration of many of the transfer-function based effects. For
the first given effect that supports the selected plotting pro-
gram, SoX will output commands to plot the effect’s transfer
function, and then exit without actually processing any audio.
E.g.
sox --plot octave input-file -n highpass 1320 > plot.m
octave plot.m
we also have the 'Gtkguitune' not sure is this one helpful
