For CD mastering from large wave files (from dat), you can't beat cdrdao/gcdmaster:

For extraction, I use cdparanoia if I want individual tracks (like for shn), or cdrdao for bin/toc ripping.
Cdparanoia:
For
a soundforge/cooledit type editing package, there's cinelerra.
It's geared more for mpeg movie editing/mastering, but the audio tools and filters
are second to none:
