There's quite a bit out there, but when I looked at it a few months ago, 
many of
the audio-related projects were still in early development, so lots of 
bugs and
setup difficultly. Hardware support is pretty spotty too. As much as I like
Linux, I finally decided to stay with "the dark side" for awhile.
