[Fedora-music-list] POLL: most used audio packages / yum audio production group

Some of you may have seen my recent posts about my desire to actualise 
some kind of Fedora Audio spin.

I think the first step in this process is to determine what software 
Fedora Audio users are using on a regular basis.

Once we have this we can determine a usable subset of audio packages 
that can form the basis of a yum group. Whilst we can garner a lot of 
the information from .desktop files and the work of the multimedia menus 
package, I think it is important to find the lowest common subset of 
packages.

So what I propose is a poll!

Firstly, list your name , DE, (XFCE/KDEGNOME/LXDE/OpenBox/..etc) then 
with a list of packages that you regularly use, in descending order of 
importance. Please specify where you obtained the package if not in 
fedora repositories.

For example:

Brendan Jones:KDE
jack
lash
qtractor (rpmfusion)
zynaddsubfx
zynjacku
qmidiarp
seq24
rosegarden4
hydrogen
dssi-vst
yoshimI (source)
ingen (source)
sylenth (vst)


Don't be afraid to repeat what others have posted, that way I can gauge 
numbers.

This data can then be used to come up with a minimal subset of Fedora 
audio packages that we can lump together in a yum group.

So, Merry Xmas! And I look forward to seeing everyone's replies!

Brendan
