Try ”LiVES”. It depends on jackd and qjackctl though, so you must
install those first.
I failed to install it on Ubuntu 8.10 (wrong version of some library)
but I instlaled it on my wife's computer with Ubuntu 9.04. However,
Jack crashed when starting up so I couldn't try it. But maybe it will
work on your computer. I read an article about it and it looks
promising at least.
An Ubuntu deb package can be installed from here:
