Hi Susanne, I am not familar with Ardourvst, but I have found that vsthost which is based on DSSI-VST has been the best way for me so far to get my VST to run. And newer versions of wine have not changed that. On my debian-based distribution I can easyly update wine and (which occurs rarely) DSSI-VST. Do You need Ardourvst as a host for running VSTs (only)? If so You might have greater success in getting Your VSTs to run if You use DSSI-VST. Have You had a look at websites that tell if a particular VST (Your VSTs) runs on linux, and with which VST host?
