I have Wheezy 7.4, Trinity 3.5.13.2 and a backported kernel, currently 
3.12-0.bpo.1-amd64.  I have done nothing special - just updated and 
upgraded fairly often.  Would this newer kernel perhaps solve some of 
your other problems?

I recently installed Wheezy with Trinity for a client in under an 
hour.  But it was very straightforward and a fast internet connection 
helped.  If you got Raid and LVM going, I think that multimedia, 
always problematic, is almost just a frill. ;-)
