I don't quite see much sense in that. LAUBang would be faster, maybe

easier to install but less flexible (less user choice) and constantly

out-of-date.

One thing that would be needed for it to work at all would be binary

packages of the more popular audio programs that are not in the official

repositories.

Archaudio.org tries to do exactly that, but currently hardly anyone

builds those binaries, so the archaudio.org repo is quite out-of-date.

I don't know whether it's lack of people, time, or whether there's no

interest in those binaries. I suspect it's mainly lack of interest. Many

audio packages in AUR are maintained well enough and it's easy to build

from there.

Anyway, it's easy to contribute to archaudio one way or another, and if

someone thinks it's worthwhile to create a ready-made CD there's no-one

stopping him. Arch means DIY.
