I doubt the "overwhelming consensus" part. ReiserFS is good at creating/deleting lots of small files and that's not a typical scenario when doing audio work. For audio stuff the FS does not seem to matter much. However, when working with large files (there are audio apps that create large project files sometimes, especially when working in 96/24 mode and that kind of stuff) i've seen better results with XFS.
When files get really big (think: video capture) there's no doubt XFS is best. I've had a video capture app skipping frames no matter what, on Ext3 and ReiserFS. Switch to XFS, the result: no more frame skipping.
