For me this is quite okay, it's one of the reasons I like it. But it comes with a price, sometimes the apps are not the most stable versions... It's a hard to solve problem, on the one hand I like having the lastest, on the otherhand I would like everything to be rock solid ;).... Oh, pretty much complete list :).... oh... I gotta think of something....pain.... amSynth rtsynth SpiralSynthModular preferably with both jack and normal versions if that is needed. Also Ardour, but it's hard to provide a stable version of that... also not preferable as of yet. I think ardour -test releases- are available through the club anyway (and rpm.nyvalls.se) os it isn't much of an issue. Lowlatency kernel, not an application, but it's essential. As has also been mentioned, "capability" support (some patch or script, yes?) would also be very good to provide means for people to run realtime applications without needing to become root (realtime capabilty is essential for audio work) As for applications, I'm quite content with MusE.
