      Does that ever work in practice? Has there been a standard fork of Audacity that everyone flocked to since they got purchased by Muse?

        Tons of example. Most wildly used forks out there are probably WebKit and Blink, the engines of two popular browsers. Some other notable projects that started as forks: postgres, Wordpress, Apache Server, OpenSSH. I'm sure there are others I forgot.
