Hi

Can you suggest any console based distro optimized just for listening
music? I don't need any sofisticated music maker software on it like
synthesizer, filter and etc.
May be just real-time support kernel, optimizer kernel IRQ and of
course with JACK.

Just do a minimal install of Arch Linux.  Be default there is not even
an X server installed, so as long as you don't install it yourself you
will have a nice console-based OS.

maybe you like to try GeexBox

Looks interesting.

Might be over kill for this use, may also be harder to install the server
software needed.

GeeXboX features a few network services that allow you to either connect to or be connected to different facilities.

Among them, one may find:

• a Telnet server (default is enabled).
• a FTP server (default is enabled).
• a HTTP server (default is disabled).
• a Samba server (default is disabled).
• a ZeroConf service discovery agent (default is enabled).
