A lot of them are very trivial. Especially for a computer that's running
audio applications, not providing services to the internet and not being
logged into by 500 users distributed all over the office or campus...

Subscribe to the Debian security mailing list for the gory and tedious
details.

I'm on Debian behind the firewalling provided by a cheap ADSL router. I
even allow myself to log in via ssh from work. I'm not worried.
There is a school of thought that says an audio machine shouldn't be
connected to a network at all (minimize services for best latency and
CPU availability for audio, is the logic)
