Summary, no and no. No you can't use 0.18 and no you shouldn't worry
about that ;-)
For most audio software you'll need pretty recent versions of
everything, either just build from source or make a package for you're
distro. I actually use a combination of both, but i'm on mandriva and
i'm not sure how easy it is to have a mix of self compiled packages
and distro packages in the system in debian.
