Clearly the jack_fst stuff that's been there for the last year or more is probably no longer helpful to many. It seems like xfst and at least last months Wine is probably a better solution, but has it been tested with enough VST's to think it works well? Performance? xruns? All the messy stuff of real life? ;-) I certainly agree that any writing you do will be helpful. Cheers, Mark
