I installed all the rpm's announced on 2.6.32.11-99.fc12.x86_64 (latest F12 kernel, not CCRMA's RT kernel). I tested them very briefly -- enough to determine that they run & don't crash.

(1) Testing https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/hydrogen-0.9.4.1-1.fc12 basically consisted of playing around with http://www.hydrogen-music.org/forum/pub/attach/2495-pauls_blues_box.h2song.zip
at 120BPM instead of 60BPM :-)  I didn't exercise the new/changed items ( http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=166387 )
Build the wasp plugins
Fixes ladspa plugin path on 64bit systems

(2) My tests of  https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/muse-1.0.1-2.fc12 were even less in-depth, since, as usual, I got fed-up before I got it to produce any sounds. I did get it to flash lights on a midi box and loaded a few plugins and their GUIs, including TX81Z/DX11 FM synth ( /usr/share/muse/presets/deicsonze/ARCH_ALIN ), VAM: Virtual Analog for MusE ( /usr/share/doc/muse-1.0.1/README.vam ), and others, /usr/share/doc/muse-1.0.1/README.softsynth . W/r/t not getting it working, it's just that for a supposedly easy to use system, i'm still blocked on getting midi input from keyboards/etc to actually play or record. (It's too bad muse doesn't have a decent preinstalled set of demos -- that's really what helped get me up and running w/ rosegarden and hydrogen.) I'm sure next time I spend another hour with it I'll get it working, as I'm "this" close -- I might need to break down and read some documentation (which is sort of a "fail" for a GUI app, although the norm for a music app).

(3) https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/flowcanvas-0.6.0-1.fc12 -- I tested by running patchage. Unfortunately, after installing flowcanvas, "yum update" wants to update back to the CCRMA version:

Is this ok [y/N]: n

I installed the f12 version of flowcanvas, ran patchage verifying it's ok, then reinstalled the ccrma version so as to not get an unnecessary 'updates available' icon...

> guitarix-0.07.1 (failed):
I also tried to update guitarix to 0.07.1. However this version
requires zita-resampler, which doesn't exist in Fedora yet. But it
exists in PlanetCCRMA. Maybe we should build guitarix 0.07.1 on
PlanetCCRMA until we get zita-resampler into Fedora (which may take a
while since I am really busy these days. If anyone wants to give a
hand I would be very happy).

I'm intrigued by guitarix && would like to see it's interface to jconvolver be more useful (there's always jcgui, which seems to be the jconvolver parts of guitarix minus the "the knob goes to 11 so it's really loud" :-) part.). IMHO both should be part of fedora since they're basically the same "pattern" with the same dependencies.

The thing that would help w/ guitarix/jcgui's usage of jconvolver would be better-working examples & hints for loading them up within the app... see also http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.audio.planetccrma.general/9587 . 

How can I help?

FYI, I have not received reply regarding access to some of the jconvolver files:

Excerpt of discussion on jconvolver package from Stanford University PlanetCCRMA mailing list: "... 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: "96kHz versions are available at 5deg intervals for the complete measurement circle through negotiation with the authors."

For context/details, see http://old.nabble.com/new-packages-in-Fedora-updates-testing-%282010-03-13%29-tp27892388p27899653.html

Question: 
(1) May I get access to these files for my own educational use, e.g.
http://old.nabble.com/Any-3d-midi-controlled-audio-mixer-using-HRTFs--tp27893041p27898710.html

(2) Would it be possible for these files to be distributed alongside jconvolver, as a separate and related package, much like debian's

PS: Here's my overall installation "method" for these updates. (Btw, what should I do to get rid of the --nogpgcheck option
when i don't want to include the updates-testing repo, and prefer to do it "manually" as below, yet would also like a GPG check of package integrity:
