Lateral shift to it still not out of the question, but I'm curious. Is it as stable a player as the 8.04 edition of Ubuntu? Would it recognize all the same hardware on my machine that Ubuntu does? Or should I just bide my time and wait for the next LTS version to wander past?

Do you need it?  If your just curious and want to check it out I suggest
installing virtualbox and checking it out in there.  That way should you
decide it's not for you, you only need to remove the vbi and be done with
it.
