POLL: most used audio packages / yum audio production group

[Brendan Jones]

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!

David Timms
kde (but always gnome previously).
audacity
rakarrack
qjackctl
k3guitune

note: I'm not creating audio as such, but maintaining packages 
audacity/rakarrack, k3guitune, so my use in generally is testing updates 
to my own packages, and tuning my guitar ;-)

Happy New Year to you all,

and my slightly belated poll submission:

Nils Philippsen: GNOME
libffado (source)
jack (source)
qjackctl
pulseaudio-module-jack
rhythmbox
hydrogen
ardour (fedora, source)
lv2-EQ10Q-plugins
lv2-invada-plugins
zynaddsubfx

You might wonder about rhythmbox and pulse above, I use it (and stuff
found on youtube ;-) for practicing to playbacks, which meanwhile works
charmingly glitch-free :-). Likewise, I use hydrogen mainly not for
creating drum parts, but verifying that I transcribed licks, phrases
etc. I heard (or imagined :-D) correctly.

I used to use kernel-rt, but not anymore as I had stability issues with
it on F-16 and found that the normal kernel seems to be quick enough and
not bad re: latency.
