There are several packages to add. I also have build a configuration RPM that will create udev-rules to grant access to /dev/rtc0 and /dev/hpet for group 'realtime' and a file for sysctl to adjust vm.swappiness and fs.inotify.max_user_watches
Your package list is a good start. Do note that an older version of calf is in the nux repo that includes both the LV2 and LADSPA versions, but it is definitely older than the one you have packaged. QJackCtl is a nice one, too. I definitely am looking forward to seeing what you come up with. Heh, time to dig out my Tascam US224 and US428 again to check for compatibility, and it really is time for someone to figure out how to force a particular USB endpoint to go to UHCI or OHCI and bypass EHCI for the Tascam US-144 and US-122L, or reverse-engineer the USB 2 protocols...... I'm concerned about the US-x2y stuff, though, since last I tried on a kernel > 3.8 the US-224 would KP the box under AVLinux 6 when any program opened the device, but I haven't tried it with C7 for some reason. I have a US-428 buried on my desk; time to do some digging and prepare to grab a KP and troubleshoot.
Having alsa-tools is wonderful, but getting mudita24 for all those Envy24/ICE1712 cards out there like the Delta 1010, 44, 66, and certain revisions of the 1010LT (I have one of these in a C7 machine at home, and I hand-built mudita24 for it, and it works well), as well as echomixer for all the Echo Audio stuff out there (I have an old first-gen 20-bit Layla on which I can test). And it's about time I put together that package of the dat-tools for using SGI-firmware-bearing Seagate DDS DAT drives for pulling audio off of DATs...... that's the only reason I keep my Purple Indigo2 IMPACT system running with IRIX is to use my SGI DAT drive with the IRIX audio software to pull audio from DATs. But that's in the future......
On the patent-encumbered codec front, for decoding MP3's the Fluendo codec is or was no-cost, and I think that codec should be the one pointed to if any. Nux has 'the rest.' But Johnny's exactly right about a SIG of CentOS and patent-encumbrance issues related to being under US copyright and patent laws.
I'm actually running Mixbus on one of my three screens right now as I type this for my weekly production tasks......
