You might also look into Studio64 - it's a Debian based distro that's
got all the sound stuff already setup and integrated.
(from the review at www.freesoftwaremagazine.com, mentioned on
distrowatch):
"So the goal of 64 Studio Ltd. is to create a native x86_64
distribution with a selected set of creative tools and as much
integration between them as possible."
... Specifically for 64 bit systems. I'll have to look into that
(dunno what he's running yet; still pretty preliminary stages here).
If the 64-bit thing turns out to be a problem, there's also AGNULA:
"AGNULA's main task is the development of two reference distributions
for the GNU/Linux operating system completely based on Free Software
(i.e. under a FSF approved Free Software license) and completely devoted
to professional and consumer audio applications and multimedia
development. One distribution will be Debian-based (DeMuDi) and the
other will be Red Hat-based (ReHMuDi)."
http://www.agnula.org/
And Mediainlinux:
"Long term goals: Create a full multimedia Linux distribution based on
Debian to permit media activism on a solid technology. Starting with a
live cd based on Knoppix, then include some other hardware recognitions,
then follow Debian Desktop, then create a full distributions with
manuals and support to be teached in multimedia schools.
Possible directions:
Cooperation with Agnula/Demudi, Planet CCRMA and Dyne:bolic (best 3
multimedia Linux distributions). Researches on Debian Desktop and
commercial distributions. Have a more complete demonstration and full
working product. Create multimedia teams composed by different skills
(audio, graphics and video experts) from the school."
