True - not every Debian-kompatible repo can easily be used in Ubuntu and
vice-versa. But in the end near about every package, that is available
for one is availabe for the other also.
I had fairly good luck in 90% of the cases, when installing a
DEb-Package (as a file - not accessing its repo via synaptic/apt but via
dpkg).

Regarding the audio-question: the main thing is the Kernel and the sytem
setup. I use a third-Party-Kernel in Ubuntu Edgy Eft from a french team
called ttoine:

Works OK - not extreme hi performance but very good results with
realworld-usage-scenarios. The most apps I installed from official
universe repos, some (cinelerra) from third-party repos and some like
Audacity with dpkg.

Muse is build from source and so are some smaller tools like
oscrolloscope and fmit.

So I have modified the Standard-Ubuntu quite a lot and at the end of the
day, I think, if I would have had given the same treatments to Debian,
it would not be that much different.
