I asked about this same issue on lmuse-user a while ago [0] (got no replies,
though). I understood from my attempts that MusE needs fst <= 1.6, and fst-1.6
needs Wine's libwine_unicode.so library. The tricky part is that in recent Wine
releases it has been merged with libwine.so. I can't remember if I tried to
change all mentions of libwine_unicode to libwine in the fst sources. Maybe I
could see if that helps.

I don't know what the last Wine release was that included libwine_unicode.so,
but installing that and fst-1.6 should (in theory) enable VST in MusE.
Personally, I enjoy the cutting edge too much to retreat. :)
