Of course justice is no solution for those, that want to have NI-Stuff running on Linux. But anyway: wine running DLLs is no solid, future-proof solution for Linux Audio either. If Steinberg would really release VST under a OSI-Licence at least, the situation would be much better. But to have proprietary VST-plugins running perfectly well on Linux will not help promoting the development of free software for Linux like LV2 or AMS. best regs HZN _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
