The wave edit's screenshot showing audio data
The wave edit widget is available as linking an editor index with AgsAudiorec.
The wave editor features a wave form area. After linking an editor index with an enginge you may perform tasks like copy, cut and paste audio data. You may change view segmentation, too.
Before you might perform any task with the editor you have to link engines
by adding an index. Then you should link it with an engine. That can all be
done by using the menu button 
of the
index list.
The corresponding editor appears as you click appropriate link, if wave editor
is not the default view you have to change it by clicking Edit -> Wave from
your menu bar or context menu.
