No.

I use Debian Sid successfully (with the precompiled .deb packages for Myth 
and some supporting packages from the Sid version of the URL I mention below).

Other use Mandrake.

Look through the list archives to see what other distros people report 
using ... there is a lot of variety ... including some people who are happy 
with one or another version of Red Hat.

How are you trying to run lame with Woody? Are you using the precompiled 
.deb  packages from http://marillat.free.fr/dists/stable/main/binary-i386/ 
? If not, try that ... it's your best source for packages that do not meet 
the licensing guidelines for inclusion in official Debian. Or at least the 
corresponding site for Sid takes care of all my dependency loose ends.
