You should rather ask if there's a -nix app that supports these well. I've not worked on audio on the PC for over five years, and had basicly stopped already once I switched over to Linux ten years ago. At the time, audio on linux was still literally a joke, though perhaps getting better. I wonder how far it got. I'm sure there were people with comfortable setups back then (e.g. Panic from Farbrausch, see Masagin from Farbrausch), so there will be people with positive experience now. I think what bothered me the most was that the Ubuntu package for the Berkley collection of Synths was simply broken. Audacity frequently crashed. The DAWs weren't to my liking, but I'm biased on that point. I never saw through Jack, Pulseaudio and what not, which was really the running gag because it was--and probably still is so messy. Responsiveness in realtime fidelity was a real problem, too, I believe (similar for web based experiments). it's a fair guess that server OSes like the BSDs won't have a better story
