I'm working on such a thing at the moment. The general idea for
0.1 is that it have a reasonably complete tool set (rather than
a complete collection of audio apps) and be reasonably easy to
install, and with extra documentation. At first it would be only be
available for free on ftp and then later on CD at some reasonable
cost. At that point it might be nice to include a much fuller
selection of programs.
I've applied for a sourceforge account for script and doc
development but I don't imagine they'll be interested in handling
the ftp part of the excercise ... so fast ftp is not arranged yet.
It will be RPM based and right now I'm building RPMs of various
apps that don't already have them.

That would be a nice option, but in conjunction with the ability
to pick and choose.
Cheers
