Sure... (as I wait for the build of 2.4.22-6.ll :-)

I also want it. I think there is a version of the core language and the
command interpreter, it even has support for jack. But there is no gui.
I don't know if it is worth to package it in this state. If there is
interest I'll do it, of course.

I did...

This one definitely looks cool. But as it says in the "it sucks" section
it needs bleeding edge libraries, some only available on cvs. I don't
know how many libraries or the packaging problems that will happen. It
looks very promising, we should keep an eye on it.

I need to package it...

Could be interesting, I guess. You can't have too many synths?

It does not seem to be clear to me what it adds (or substracts?) from
Festival, which is already included in RedHat. Do you know?

This one depends on java... so it will have to wait a bit, Jmax is first
in the line :-)
