My suggestion would be to use Ubuntu to get a basic installation, and add the DeMuDi packages on top of that. Ubuntu should streamline the hardware detection & configuration process quite nicely. The DeMuDi packages could be part of Debian (Unstable/Testing?) already, so it's just a matter of updating the sources you download from.
Fedora is nice but very bloated, and not all the PD externals are there yet. And RedHat/Fedora do things in their own special way, which can make it difficult for non Fedora-users to help you out. OTOH Debian is pretty standard, and shares many similarities with a lot of other distros, so you can find help in a lot more forums, etc.
Dynebolic is OK as a live CD, but pretty much impossible to reconfigure, so I'd skip it for a permanent installation unless you need something working RIGHT NOW ;-)
good luck, d.

A friend highly recommended fedora core 4 and the ccrma pack, but I heard about GeeXboX, dyne:bolic, and DeMuDi, which all are called "multimedia distros"..
