Not really. It seems you're making things arbitrarily hard by compiling
on your own, then complain that compiling on your own is hard.

Your notion of freedom is strange. You're able to see the latest
versions before it is available in a distribution. You're free to either
wait, or go to the trouble of compiling on your own. Freedom means
you're able, not that you're spoon fed. Or in other words: Compiling on
your own is possible, but difficult.

It seems you're out to make things hard on yourself.

If your distribution doesn't provide Banshee, ask for a new version.
However, seems you're using a distribution which lags behind quite a
lot.
