I can't say anything about the version update, but installing audio
packages is ok. At the moment you should avoid to choose 3rd party
packages to keep your Linux stable and don't forget to backup your
Linux.

Ralf: "64 Studio 3.3 is the best distro if you won't tweak yourself,
unfortunately it's much too old now, but a new version might be released
in April."
http://www.64studio.com/
Note: They do OEM stuff for music, so no pulseaudio and other annoying
desktop stuff by default.

AV Linux and Planet CCRMA should be good too, avoid Suse, openArtist ...

Debian and Suse are good distros too, but they aren't easy to set up to
become a DAW if you don't have much knowledge.
