Note that some of the dependencies are missing in [ extra ].
- Rubberband is for time stretching/pitch shifting and used in an
increasing number of apps.
- LV2 is the successor of LADSPA.

Ardour builts with both by default as you can guess from the scons line.
I don't know off the top of my head if it's possible to build without
rubberband.

Another question is the recent support of VST without Steinberg
headers, which would allow distribution of VST enabled binaries (but
IANAL).
This would add wine as dependency AFAIK, I haven't used this myself but
I'm sure there are plenty of people at #archaudio that have.

Jack is even more important than ardour, the following PKGBUILD should
be fine, except that I'm not sure about --enable-optimize for binary
packages. The PKGBUILD in extra builds it with POSIX-SHM support which
is not recommended by jacks main author.

# Contributor: Philipp Überbacher <hollunder at gmx dot at>

pkgname=jack-audio-connection-kit
pkgver=0.116.2
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="A low-latency audio server"

build() {
  cd "${startdir}/src/${pkgname}-${pkgver}"
  ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-optimize || return 1
  make || return 1
  make DESTDIR=${startdir}/pkg install || return 1
}
 


Qjackctl is lest important of the bunch, here's simple the updated
PKGBUILD from [extra]:

# Contributor: Tobias Kieslich <tobias at justdreams.de>

pkgname=qjackctl
pkgver=0.3.4
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="a qt based frontend to the jack server
(jack-audio-connection-kit)" arch=(i686 x86_64)
license=('GPL2')
depends=('jack-audio-connection-kit' 'qt')
# options=('!libtool')
install=${pkgname}.install
url="http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net/"
source=(http://downloads.sourceforge.net/${pkgname}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.gz)
md5sums=('65736e83650468256ba22aa5d35fd0cb')

build() {
  cd ${startdir}/src/${pkgname}-${pkgver}
  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make || return 1
  make prefix=${pkgdir}/usr install
}



I have no illusions about the need to build from source, but these are
pretty basic and common tools and it's nice to have them reasonably
up-to-date in the repos.
If you have questions just mail or visit #archaudio

Best regards,
