Download this test file (it's a 6 second tone in WAV format) Launch Audacity, then "File menu > Import > Audio" and select the downloaded "tone.wav" format.
Does Audacity import it successfully?

if possible to upload wxwidgets along with audacity source into launchpad? I don't know how launchpad works, but on a PC you can clone wx3.1 from here: https://github.com/audacity/wxWidgets Build and install wxWidgets, then build Audacity. To build wxWidgets: git clone --recurse-submodules https://...

What frequency do you think would be best for looping this sound in general? (without worrying about the game's limitations). Ideally, for full frequency range audio, 44100 Hz sample rate.

Does this mean it has been translated into Swift for the Mac? Yes we use Xcode on macOS. No it hasn't been translated i...

All of this could be avoided by the developers creating installable Linux packages in-house. I can’t for the life of me understand why that doesn’t happen. Because there is no single build that will work on all 'Nix OS's, and we don't have the resources to build and test multiple versions for Linux...
