SoundForge is an excellent program, with probably the best support for
DirectShow plugins. It is however (at least in it's current incarnation)
a strictly stereo editor. For your task a multi-track editor such as
Cool Edit Pro would be more suitable. It depends somewhat on the size
and quantity of the 'snippets'. If they are small and numerous (ie
granular synthesis or brassage), an algorthimic approach would be
better, which I am sure Csound can do, especially if you use Cscore, or
some other score-generation program (Perl?). 

The CDP system can also do it - loads of programs for chopping up sounds
and reasssembling them.
