Join forces with CCRMA *and* start a remix *and* find a revenue model. ;-) You simply can't do audio without *some* non-free RPM Fusion-ish packages, and that means finding paying customers. I'm in the same boat with my computational journalism remix, even though I'm sticking with 100% Fedora-compatible licenses. I find myself recommending OSGeo-Live for the journos with heavy mapping needs, and I find myself recommending Whonix or Tails for security even though most of the components of those distros are already packaged in Fedora and in my remix. Packaging is both labor-intensive and capital-intensive, so I just ship scripts to grab stuff off the web. ;-) For Jam, I'd keep it up through F21 but focus on re-factoring the kickstart file into yum groups and getting as many Planet CCRMA packages as possible into Fedora. I wouldn't do "hard stuff" like packaging without a revenue model. BTW, I may have noted this before but I'm really convinced that the JavaScript WebAudio API and Mozilla's asm.js are where the future of algorithmic composition / digital synthesis are.
