I've been learning the same stuff recently as well.
I've attached my first attempt at a very basic synth using ALSA MIDI for
input and JACK for output. (Note that I'm not an audio expert so there
may be a few errors in it. If anyone spots an error please let me know.)
Wikipedia seems to have quite a few articles on synthesis:

I just read "The Computer Music Tutorial" by Curtis Roads, which was
recommended by a few Linux audio developers. It's a fairly good
introduction, though it seems slightly dated. I'm also reading "Elements
of Computer Music" by F.Richard Moore, but I wouldn't recommend it as a
first book as the maths is pretty difficult.

The Jack
examples are a great place to start looking at code. Also, I
wrote a howto for people writing Jack apps for the first time:

That's already great, thanks a lot! ;)
I hope you get more sources in this thread,
because I would like to
read more myself.
More specifically I'm looking for commented code examples/tutorials on how to
emulate sound synthesis, so writing oscillators, filters and so on as well as
nice examples of the ``big picture'' so that i can see how it's all put
together
to form a synth. That'd be really nice.
