Hey Kristof, > So, is the latest version if wineasio (0.9.0) compatible with the current > wine version (1.3.34), or should I go for cvs/svn? you can use any (modern) version of wine. I am currently using wine 1.3.34 (with the wine-rt patch). there's no point in grabbing the very latest wine sources, as 1.3.34 is a development release, anyway. ;) > Is this the right list to discuss wineasio and FST/Festige, or should I take > it to linux-audio? Depends, i suppose. WineASIO gets talked about here and there on this list, more often than FST/Festige anyway. You may find help on both lists, but i would say try to figure out which list is better to post on for a given question. > (In fact, one of my primary goals in this project is to run Kontakt on > Linux, and since it'a VST, FST is my prime candidate for the job. > Stand-alone applications are a secondary goal.) Honestly, You are most likely going to periodically experience some nasty audible xruns from Kontakt...just to give you a head's up. You are probably better off making your own sample banks in say, Linuxsampler - where you are going to actually get decent performance out of them, without glitchyness (this is also true of Battery3, i would know as i own N.I. Komplete 7). Native instruments plugins can be dicey and mileage will vary! (with WineASIO and/or Festige). it can be a little disappointing. You will also either have to compile the latest wineASIO with INT32, and change a wine registry setting to enable it (howto in readme i think), otherwise N.I plugins just produce distortion. Alternatively, you can use an older version of wineASIO, such as 0.7.5 . cheerz
