The only editor I've tried in Linux that lets you do looping is DAP:
http://www.cee.hw.ac.uk/~richardk/

It's quite good, and gives you full control over looping. 
Currently, you can't import WAV files -- the option is there, but it's
broken; you have to start with an AIFF or raw file. Probably you want
AIFF for the final output anyway, since I don't know if DAP's .wav
export supports the loop points (for that matter, does the .wav format
support looping? I don't know).
