dnoise (part of csound) and 
PVNation 
and other tools (can't remember off-hand but Dave Phillips, the same one who maintains linux-sound has written an article about mastering a CD in linux and he mentions some tools.  The articles are on o'reilly network site - http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/au/101, you should read them all.  Great stuff).

Ardour, 
ecasound (not an editor but powerfull multitrack mixer/recorder);

GDAM - it rocks - mp3 files mixer (ogg, too, now I think) with unlimited turntables, tempo calculator, plugins and support for LADSPA plugins. Let's you design your own filters as well (which you can then turn into ladspa plugins).  Also, support for samples playback + sequencing.

Csound, 
PD (roll your own but will work in real-time), 
PVNation

> 6) Granulator [a la granulation gizmos in Audio Mulch, Granulab]

Roll your own in CSound, PD

Hope you have a rockin' linux experience.
