As the maintainer of the debian packaging of lame (upstream), I would
suggest that you grab the latest released sources from sourceforge (see
sf.net/projects/lame).
Then, try to compile the version 3.87beta (don't be scared about the
beta in the name of the package---it's actually quite stable and works
well) to generate three debian packages for your system, one of them
being libmp3lame0, which audacity needs (yes, I do some recordings with
Audacity also).
Please install debhelper, build-essential and fakeroot to compile lame
"the Debian way", then enter the main directory and, finally, issue
something like:
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -rfakeroot
In a few moments you should get your shiny new packages compiled.
Hope this helps, Rogério Brito.
