For version info: <http://www.debian.org/releases/>. Short version: unstable is sid. Wheezy is testing.
For mixing stable and unstable: This can be hard, as basic libraries have to be upgraded to their sid versions, and I would not recommend it if you care about the system. One option is of course to witch to sid and run that instead. A common solution is to use a backport <http://wiki.debian.org/Backports>, and in this case the package you want does not seem to have a backport.
In case you want to try it, attempting to create a backport package yourself, as described at <http://wiki.debian.org/SimpleBackportCreation>, is probably much less risky than trying to use sid.
If you still want to use the package from sid (and need your system to be stable), I recommend some kind of container, so that you have a sid system installed without touching your squeeze, like in this (old) description:
