do I just wait for newer packages??

See the instructions on http://www.debian-multimedia.org/.

when I tried that I get:
Beware : downgrading to these packages will remove all debian-multimedia
packages who depends on libavc*
To downgrade do the following :
dpkg -l | grep 3:2008
------------------------------
# dpkg -l | grep 3:2008
#
returns nothing..
so I guess I don't understand..
