More details?  I have been pretty happy with XFCE but this sounds 
interesting.

My background is in science and technology but I am spending increasing 
amounts of time on music and singing so I find it is a steep learning 
curve with all the sound related software (I ditched PulseAudio and 
settled on plain Alsa).  A new, lightweight spin focusing specifically 
on audio would be very interesting for me.
