They have Ardour.  They just dont have Alsa, or a kernel that's any good 
for realtime.  And this is coming from a FreeBSD fan.

It's a shame...  With the various creations of Lennart Poettering coming 
from RedHat these days (PulseAudio, systemd, etc.), Linux is getting 
more wacky by the year.  BSD might be a refuge from the madness if they 
were more desktop oriented.
