It's called "Wavosaur". Thanks for bumping this thread. The method I came up with is probably not the best way, there has to be someone that knows how to do this properly. Maybe someone knows of a better (free) tool that allows more export options from a sound wave to a text file. Or someone knows how to read sound waves from a scripting component and get the proper data.
