Hey hey Kare,
from my point of view - working on the commandline with audio -, the 
specialised audio distributions are mostly specialised in the graphical areas. 
Granted they have the kernels and some additional software very handily 
available. But for commandline work that is such a minor concern, compared to 
the tools, that you really use, that after some research I didn't think it 
worth it. That is why, I turned to Debian and am now thinking of switching to 
archlinux, since they have even better and more up-to-date commandline tools, 
including some audio packages.

>From this point of view, I asked about your speech synth. The thought being: 
if there's one Linux that might support it, it might be as easy to set up the 
audio software as on any other system. With that you might have even used some 
graphic audio tools. Without that, I think you are restricted to commandline 
tools and thus a professional audio distro as such, seems even less important.
