One individual considered this very important. I don't actually know if it's true, but I think it is. I would agree that it would be important to me to be able to run multiple Savihost-ed VSTs at the same time. I think the best answer for that is for someone to fix the Wine JAck driver. They also believe their Wine OSS driver is less buggy than their Alsa driver. No comments from me on that one. (Well, one - If true they should fix it!) ;-) As for the CPU usage issue that Nigel and I have seen, a quick search in Google using alsa oss cpu usage problems yields lots of results showing applications that have seen this sort of issue outside of Wine. Often it appears to be an app issue, not really an Alsa or OSS-emulation issue, but it's there. Just info really. - Mark
