Does anyone have a good guide to understanding the Linux audio ecosystem?

I know Linux fairly well from a server standpoint, but I tried to do some audio stuff recently and couldn’t make head nor tail of it.

FYI: Yamaha's advanced synths (Motif and Montage) are based on real-time linux.

I bought an MX49 and they include the GPL and a download link.

But if you're expecting a random linux flavor to just work with audio, I don't know if that's reasonable, since nobody packaged or tested it with that in mind.
