I agree...

What I have done in the past (have not done it yet for fc6 as I have not
released a low latency kernel) is to publish pam packages in Planet
CCRMA so that things work "out of the box" for Planet CCRMA users. A lot
less than optimal but the only way I could get things to work with no
"hacking" of configuration files, etc, etc.
