Here's my request list:
I'd really like to see FFADO backported, but I know as soon as an official
release has been made it will be incorporated in to the repos.
The newer version of Jack has made some substantial improvements.
Ardour is always nice.
Pure Data extended would also be good (along with GEM)
ChucK is dangerously old, but anyone wanting to use that should already know
how to compile it themselves (it's just a hassle is all).
I hope you're not getting overwhelmed with packages/workload, and
congratulations on joining the Ubstu dev team!
