I don't know the reasons but RTSynth has always been closed source. It's odd
for Linux and a potential problem if the sources and or Stefan ever gets

There was actually an update in december (announced here), so it's actually
alive.
I think there's a new homepage.
http://www.linux-sound.org/rtsynth/
I tried it at the time and it works, there's some wonderfully wierd sounds
hiding in there :-).
