I already have packages available as part of the Planet CCRMA repository
(for both). I don't have (yet) Fedora Extras cvs access so I can't
contribute directly, but I could send spec files and/or patches if that
would help. 

Rezound is nice, but it has an additional (admittedly optional)
dependency, the Jack Audio Connection Kit. That is one of the packages
that I would eventually like to help include in FE as a _lot_ of very
nice audio packages depend on Jack being available.
