Just a few minutes ago I successfully managed to open jetAudio in Linux, using Wine 20050725 in Ubuntu Hoary.
I may post a how-to once I have everything setup. So far, the most annoying problem is that the installer hangs at the very beggining. You need to run an already installed jetAudio (for example installed in windows). You can simply copy your jetAudio folder to somewhere in your linux partitions, are run it using wine <path-to-jetAudio>/JetAudio.exe
Here are my results from what I have tried so far:
* Sound: jetAudio works flawlessly so far. Sound quality is excellent (up to par with what you get in Windows). X-Surround, X-Bass and the BBE effects seem to be working. For X-Surround, that means you get a very nice output in all of the speakers in 4.1+ speaker configurations.
* Interface: All in all response times seem very fast. I don't notice any lags while loading the menu, changing settings, etc. IMHO the tray menu runs smoother than in my windows parition!
Also, I don't notice any glitches in how elements are drawn, which is nice, considering the whole interface is skinned.
* Visualizations: I have tried PixelTrip only. It loads and works fine, if you don't move the viz window. If you do, the viz seems to be disabled (black screen).
* Video: Haven't tested yet, as I still need to install some codecs :P
PS: If there's someone else (besides myself) interested in this, take a look at the CodeWeaver's Install Challenge (http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/challenge/). I was going to fill a form for the jetAudio installer, but I feel lazy about shipping a copy via mail.
And finally, some screenshots of jetAudio-linux in action:
