Dunno, at the moment Debian stable might be ok, but usually after some
time you'll run into dependency issues, if you need to compile newest
audio applications. I don't think one need always the latest desktop
environment version etc., but audio becomes better day buy day. I would
prefer Debian, but IMO Ubuntu has an advantage for audio.
