No, these are nightly builds of the upstream source code. You still
need to install Ubuntu Studio (or plain Ubuntu), then add this on top.
There are no guarentiees that the software is not broken.

For example, you need feature X that has landed in FFmpeg but is not
included in the version of FFmpeg in Lucid. You could build FFmpeg
from source yourself, but that bypass the package system entirely.

What exactly do you mean here?

Add the url to your software sources. More detailed instructions are
available on https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-nightly/+archive/ubuntustudio-nightly
