A question is what exactly what advertised.
I read this page before buying: http://openmoko.com/product.html
It says there is an audio output, so one shuld expect it to "work". 
There is nothing about "hi-fi" sound quality though, so perhaps they get 
away with the weak bass. Talking works, .oggs work although the quality 
isn't excellent.

As for the buzz, it depends on how bad it is. If the other end can't 
hear you properly then it is a defect. If they get some background noise 
  that don't prevent the use as a phone, then it merely is a phone of 
low but useable quality.
