Even if this mailing list is a good initiative, there is not much traffic 
(yet). Hopefully this will change in the future ?

My advice: also take a look at PlanetCCRMA.
1. Do a google search for "Planet CCRMA Fedora" or something like that and 
do some reading.
2. Install the Planet CCRMA yum repo. The Planet CCRMA website will tell 
you why and how.
3. Join also the planet-ccrma mailinglist. There are a lot of friendly and 
helpful people there, both experienced people and newbies sharing one 
passion: using Fedora to make music.

Read and learn more about the real time kernel, about (not) using 
pulseaudio, alsa, jack, configurations, and things like that.

For serious music making many Fedora musicians use a combination of the 
Fedora repositories, planet-ccrma, and rpmfusion-free/nonfree 
repositories.
