Thomas,

You might take a look at realtime CMix from Dave Topper and others. It
can be downloaded from ftp://din.music.virginia.edu/pub/rtcmix/ and there
is some documentation at http://www.music.columbia.edu/cmix/. Also, the
Synth Tool Kit from Perry Cook is great if you are interested in writing
some C++ code - it is available from
http://www-ccrma.stanford.edu/CCRMA/Software/STK/. Finally, I hate to
suggest a non-linux solution, but SuperCollider is simply amazing for this
type of thing and has a very nice object-oriented language that is
specifically designed for making music. It is available at
http://www.audiosynth.com/. Hope this helps.

Karl
