I think I too tried Buzz at one time with similar results, was a while ago 
though, memories are lost in the haze...

A similar app is Psycle which I've successfuly run under linux. It was not 
very realtime friendly though, but I managed to do some test compositions 
with good results.
I didn't try with jack at that time though, it would be a very cool test to do 
that...
