Yes, a guide to using obscure and obtuse packages like qmidiroute and
jconvolver would be very useful. It's possible that guitarix-0.05.8-1.fc12
may be the easiest front-end for jconvolver and includes a cool GUI control
for it: http://guitarix.sourceforge.net/ . Also, appears to be a guitarix
spinoff, perhaps better for jconvolver,
http://jcgui.sourceforge.net/--  Not part of the Fedora/CCRMA repos,
but installable and runnable as
Mandriva RPM,
http://ftp.riken.go.jp/pub/pub/Linux/MandrivaLinux/devel/cooker/x86_64/media/contrib/release/jcgui-0.7-1mdv2010.1.x86_64.rpm

Regarding jconvolver, one thing that would help is complete example files.
In playing with jconvolver, I found that many of the examples were missing
.wav files. Only a few worked:

gnulem-111-~> jconvolver /usr/share/jconvolver/spacenet/yorkminster-amb.conf

Unable to open
> '/usr/share/jconvolver/reverbs/spacenet/Minster1_000_WXYZ_48k.amb'

gnulem-112-~> jconvolver
> /usr/share/jconvolver/santa-elisabetta/stereo-A3.conf

Warning: partition size adjusted to 256

Unable to open
> '/usr/share/jconvolver/reverbs/santa-elisabetta/stereo-tail-C.wav'

This worked: jconvolver /usr/share/jconvolver/octave-band/octband-44.conf


It turns out that there's a missing package containing the missing files:

However, other files, the more interesting ones like
'/usr/share/jconvolver/reverbs/spacenet/Minster1_000_WXYZ_48k.amb' are still
missing.
http://space-net.org.uk/?q=node/50 suggests where to find them:

The Files
All impulse responses are in 24 bit 48kHz wav format, pointing directly at
the source at angle 0 deg. according to the method presented in the above
publications. 96kHz versions are available at 5deg intervals for the
complete measurement circle through negotiation with the authors. There are
three IR files presented here for each site. The first corresponds to a
near-coincident stereo pair in ORTF format. The second pair of responses are
given in 4-channel Ambisonic B-format as two stereo files corresponding to
channels WX and YZ.
