I gave a bad example last night of what would interest me, since it
was easy to dismiss as available in common sound mixing apps.  In
matlab (not free), for example, you can import a sound, do a fourier
transform on it, knock out or add some frequencies, and reverse
transform.  Why?  I dunno.  I saw it used once for de-noising a
sound.  It was cool.  I'd like to be able to do it with free software.

Professionally, I have some interest in doing pattern recognition on
music.  The above sort of machination would be a first step.

If I figure out something that I can do with free software, I'd be
happy to volunteer to present it.  In the mean time, I just wanted to
clarify some of what I was thinking.
