If you want to run only 1 application, you'll basically have to replace init. That, however, means that you won't have any access to automatic device integration (via udev in case of Linux), or other amenities, and especially no graphical display. Also, most audio editing applications require some kind of sound daemon, like Pulseaudio or ALSA, running.
One thing you could try is building a very restricted set of daemons on top of Linux from Scratch.
