Sorry but I'm still not sure if I understand correctly.
To be a little clear, what I mean is 'what to do with the .so'? And can 
they work *without* steinberg vst etc. In this case which applications 
support .so?
Otherwise what is the real advantage of using 'native' vst (.so) vs 
windows vst (.dll), given that FST - for instance -  will work with any 
jack-enabled applications.

Bests,
Lorenzo.
