But I haven't released anything because I'm not able to make the vstserver compile with later versions of wine. I haven't asked on the wine-list because I previously haven't much answers on that list, and I don't know how to express the problems I'm having either. The vstserver works pretty well, and, at the moment, probably much better than lib_fst for most people. But I wouldn't reccomend at all using any vst plugins in linux if theres a good ladspa/jack alternative. Its problematic, and should in my opinion only be used in special situations, for example if you want to show windows people that, yes indeed, you can run the B4 vst instrument in linux. Or, if you want to use the B4 vst instrument in linux, because you want to use the B4 vst instrument. Nah, only my opinion. I'm sorry, its not allways very easy to use, and my general advice if you can't get a vst plugin to work, is that you should just give up. --
