Audacity is a free and open-source audio editing and recording application. It is available on the Alpine Linux community repository as audacity.

Integration with FFmpeg

Audacity optionally supports integration with some versions of FFmpeg for working with additional audio formats. According to official support pages[1] as of April 13, 2026, Audacity 3.2+ is compatible with version 60 of libavformat. If you are using such a version of Audacity, the libraries installed by the ffmpeg package will be incompatible with your installation. You will need to install ffmpeg6-libavformat.
