Running under vstserver, though, I get a unresolved symbol error when it tries to load the DLL, and it's unusable with that as well. >> I only have one VST plugin I am using, the M-Tron Mellotron >> emulator, and when I run it with jack_fst, nothing happens, the >> program hangs and I have to 'kill -9' it eventually.

I notice the manufacturer (GMedia) has a small utility to run the VSTi as a standalone application now. I might try that and see if it works under Wine. -- Rule of Feline Frustration: When your cat has fallen asleep on your lap and looks utterly content and adorable, you will suddenly have to go to the bathroom.
