To clarify:
Older versions of (G)ZDoom have certain compatibility issues with the different versions of FMOD that are available.
Now, these are strictly compatibility issues, and do not necessarily negate any version of FMOD from working on certain ones - however - finding the right version of FMOD might not be as hard as you think.
The key here is the dates. ZDoom was not always up to date with FMOD, but often if you used a version of FMOD that was released between a week to a month or so prior to the version you are trying to build, as a general rule it will work. Note however, that sometimes ZDoom actually did upgrade to the *latest* version of FMOD available at the time.
So, as you go up in revisions, if FMOD suddenly breaks, simply upgrade it to a bit more of a recent version. You don't have to upgrade FMOD every time you take a step up the revision tree.
http://www.fmod.org/index.php/download/find
http://zdoom.org/Changelog
Both provide dates and should be fairly effective with what you are trying to do. For the most part, the dates will match up. FMod errors were usually fixed pretty quick whenever they were reported. And like Gez said, after one of the ZDoom revisions in mid-2009, you should be able to use any version of FMOD without problems. (Keyword: *should* - I don't trust that statement completely, myself)
