Very difficult. I guess, the advantage in speed one may get from an
custom-build minimalist system would need some 10 years to collect
enough seconds to bring back the time it takes to build the system in
the first place.

Why not just install a major distro plus audio-layer and run it with
Fluxbox or E or on tty? If I compare the performance of heavy
audio-setups under KDE4 and under Fluxbox on the same system I find it
hard to see any difference...
