Rest assured :-)
I just recently installed Fedora 14, added the CCRMA-Kernel/Settings and 
now I have the best audio-performance I ever saw in any general-purpose 
distro I ever used.

If you can afford to be a bit forgiving about security, disable Selinux. 
Pulse Audio is smoothly put in the background when you start jackd with 
qjackctl. Only if you use a soundcard with an Alsadriver that PA does 
not like, you might need to reset volumes after jackd has started (as I 
have to with my envy24-cards).

And Ardour2 and Ardour3 build perfectly well from SVN. All dependencies 
can be installed with yum...
I did not found any Linux Audio app that could not be installed in F14 
-- those, that are not in the repos can be build perfectly well from source.

best of luck :-)
