The best way, I think, to work with vst and ardour is to use external
routing. I work with Addictive Drums in that way and it is very stable.
Another possibility is to use ardour with VST support, but it's only for 32
bit and you have  to compile by your self, on ubuntu I think. I did some
tests with ardoureVST on  AV linux but it was not very stable.
