I think it certainly covers most stuff - it also covers most non-audio
programs. I've used this list for fetching and compiling all of the following
(at various times) when I've wanted to try newer versions:

Audacity
Audacious
Hydrogen
Lame
Rosegarden
Yoshimi -> now also needs libboost.dev
ZynAddSubFX


@allcoms

You make some very good points, however don't forget this is just the crib
sheet for producing my preferred setup.

I've tried Thunar but just don't like it. Also ROX is closest to my Risc Os
roots :)

I'd forgotten to include alsactl store - certainly used it!

Didn't know about apt-get build-dep ardour. I'm all for reducing lists of
install libraries!
