I am currently setting up a 2 x dual core opteron box
for audio work. The
motherboard works well with Linux generally. It needs the
reverse-engeineered forcedeth driver for the network card but it's already
in all the distros I've tried (gentoo, ubuntu, debian, fedora, 64 studio).
My vendor had to install a beta BIOS in order to get ethernet working on
Ubuntu 6.06.

I'm afraid I can't comment on audio performance yet. I want to use the
latest versions of the usual apps so I've been trying gentoo with
pro-audio overlay. however I've found it very unstable.
I have absolutely no problem with the Tyan K8W model, an ATI 9600
with Xorg 1.1 (the free driver), and a RME multiface. I'm particularly
satisfied with this motherboard, everything works perfectly with Gentoo,
once you have understood, when installing, that you want to do network
with the ethernet card and not with the firewire interface :).
