Thanks for posting Kevin. I 'm one of the members of the Fedora Audio 
SIG behind the spin. It is in early days yet, but there was a recent 
article which goes into a little bit more detail behind its goals [1].

I'd also just like to point out that the project has also been accepted 
as an idea for the Google Summer of Code [2]. If there are any students 
who are keen on linux audio and would like to be involved in an open 
source project I'd suggest checking it out!
