Right, the archaudio.org repo has binaries but is still pretty young.
The Arch User Repo has most known pieces of audio software and it's
easy to compile them using the provided buildscripts.
One benefit for your case would be that you can keep the whole
installation quite minimal (no need to install KDE, Gnome or even X,
etc.).
