In the past, I have been able to install new versions of Ardour using a
package downloaded from www.getdeb.net.  To do this, you will need to remove
the old version of Ardour, and to do that you will need to remove the
ubuntustudio-audio metapackage (NOTE: This does not remove any of the other
programs associated with the package, although it will probably change your
/etc/security/limits.conf settings, so be sure to check that.)  You can use
Add/Remove software to uninstall Ardour, but you will need to use Synaptic
or apt-get to remove ubuntustudio-audio.

Then, just double-click the .deb for the new Ardour, and you're good to go.
I prefer this way because I'm not very comfortable building things from
source.  I should also say that I have not yet done this with Karmic, so I
don't know if it works the same.
