I'm running Breezy too, and I just compiled the liblo package from
Dapper and installed that.

What you do is:

  - Go to your local Ubuntu mirror site.
  - Find /ubuntu/pool/universe/libl/liblo/
  - Grab the three files:

          liblo_0.22-1.dsc
          liblo_0.22-1.diff.gz
          liblo_0.22.orig.tar.gz

  - Then do:

       dpkg-source -x liblo_0.22-1.dsc
       cd liblo-0.22/
       dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b -uc
       cd ..
       sudo dpkg -i liblo*.deb

And you're done. Probably a bit easier than converting your machine
to Debian testing :-).
