Banshee 0.11.6 was released on Feb. 5th, 2007. Banshee 0.11.1 is included in Ubuntu 6.10, Edgy Eft. Major changes to Banshee 0.11.1 include:

• Banshee-official-plugins merged with core
• Radio stations can now be added/edited/removed from the radio plugin; additionally the remote stations can be easily and optionally disabled
• Usability and interface updates to the podcast plugin

How to upgrade Banshee on Ubuntu 6.10 from Subversion:

Step 5: Build Banshee 0.11.6 with Avahi support:

./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --enable-avahi --disable-docs

make

sudo make install

And run Banshee!

I have to say I really like the Internet Radio plugin, the layout is well done and the icons look great. Banshee feels snappier overall as well.

If I feel really brave, I may try to get MTP working later this week.
