cool! I'm too curious how this will turn out! But a new Debian multimedia
blends seems like a great idea! Thanks for your work on this!

Well, lets see how this evolve. Hopefully users will give us enough
feedback to make them really useful.

These packages and subdirs are a good starting point. Linuxaudio is transforming every day, so I think a lot has to change in the different meta-packages.

The biggest recent changes imo in linuxaudio is

a) release of Ardour3 (with midi support)
b) release of Non-Session-Manager (NSM)


Point a means that LV2 plugins are more and more important for mixing and using virtual softsynths/instruments.

Point b gives revival to the 'one-task-one-tool-approach' in the audio area. It should be in Debian as soon as possible (new release is coming within a few weeks)

It might be good to have a 'NON' metapackage with Non-Timeline, Non-Mixer, Non-Sequencer and Non-session-manager.

You want the NSM supported apps in Debian and likely in the metapackages. An NSM metapackage like you've for ladi, might be good too: http://non.tuxfamily.org/wiki/ApplicationsSupportingNsm

I think 'audio-plugins' should be 'softsynths or virtual instruments'.

Then you've to think about where to put the LV2 and DSSI plugins. Special metapackage or in one of the existing ones (mixing/softsynths) You've LV2 plugins for mixing and LV2 plugins as softsynths/virtual instruments.

I think I would remove the timestretching package, you'll find it in your DAW normally (Ardour/Qtractor).
