Correction: I did not have backports active in the sources.list file. I 
must have commented it out some days back. I reincluded backports and 
updated the system. Audacity remained at the same version, there is no 
1.3.2 beta available in edgy backports, or so it seems.

How do you know audacity 1.3.2 beta should be in backports? Or, how do I 
find what version of a package is in a particular repo in general?
