In Ubuntu I think Audacity is in what they refer to a "Universe". The Mint repositories are a little strange as they "borrow" so much from Ubuntu but replace other parts with their own patched and customised versions. I know that "build-dep" does not work on all distros...

Unpacking it I'm getting an error:

I've re-downloaded that file now so feel free to delete from Dropbox.

WAV format is an "uncompressed" PCM file format. The file size in "bits" can be calculated like this: "duration (seconds)" x "number of channels" x "bits per sample" x "samples per second". To convert to "bytes" divide the result ...
