I wonder about the possibility to listen in detail to a very small peace of the track by manually pulling the cursor (Wave lab calls that Jog mode/Shuttle). I can´t find this function in Audacity, which is sad, because it´s very important to be able to do that when you need a precision cut. Maybe I´m wrong but I can´t find it (I have the beta version 1.3.13-beta (Unicode).

Re: Manually monitoring the track
If you click&drag in the timeline above the waveform display, Audacity should play the clip wnen you release the left mouse button.
The other useful thing you can do with the time line is to click in it, if no audio is playing then playback will start from that point, if audio is already playing then the playback position will shift to that point.

Re: Manually monitoring the track
There is no "slow it down so I can hear it." That's called scrubbing and it's a future feature request. The best you can do is work with the magnifier tools and find edit points by looking at the blue waves. You can set ridiculously accurate edits that way, but no, it's not as natural as scrubbing.
