To add to the confusion. I use Mandrake myself with great success.

I think a list of distros that aim for multimedia would looks something like 
this:
- Mandrake (especially with Thac's rpms, rpm.nyvalls.se, very fresh)
- Suse (a lot of stuff is included in the main distro, including lowlatency 
patched kernels)
- Redhat/Fedora + CCRMA (Looks good and diverse, CCRMA is where all the good 
stuff is)
- Agnula (should be a big name, multimedia is what confirms their existence, I 
know too little though)
- Dynebolic ( live-cd based, don't know much about it)
