One thing missing from this list -- and pretty much any mention of open source music tools for some reason -- is OpenMPT: an open-source Windows-based tracker with full VST support. It runs great under WINE.

It's a tracker, and not a sequencer-style DAW, but unlike every other open source DAW, it is battle-tested, non-beta non-alpha post-1.0 release software, and capable of producing commercial-quality music.

It also happens to have pretty great compatibility with various tracker music formats like .mod, .s3m, .it and so on.
