I do use debian testing (not doing serious stuff these days though).
Debian testing is pretty stable, more stable then the latest Ubuntu
version in my experience. All though mixing stable with testing can
become a pain, mixing testing with unstable shouldn't give you much
troubles normally.

The Debian Multimedia Team is doing most of the audio related packaging
for Debian.

For the latest audio software, Arch Linux doesn't give you much more
compared to Debian testing/ unstable in my experience. An advantage of
Debian is that there are more packages available.
