While Buzz does have tracker functionality, that's only one of a couple 
hundred modules available for it.  Essentially, Buzz tries to be an all in 
one Jack-like environment, where you can use VST or DirectX instruments, or 
native Buzz instruments (a few of which are trackers) and route them through 
an arbitrary number of Buzz, VST or DX effects prior to output to speaker or 
disk.  Trouble is, its author lost the source code years ago and updates come 
in the form of binary hacks of the executable and more and more module 
setups.

Jack is already more flexible and as it builds more critical mass, may 
ultimately be more powerful.  But the only things Buzz has in common with 
Soundtracker are the ability to play samples if you want to, and a 
tracker-like interface for entering notes.
