Not to muddy the waters guys but Mark, you quoted "Going back to a
previous Wine version was Not an option". Just curious why...
Thac, whom packages now primarily for PClinuxOS, has recently packaged
Xfst againts 20050830 (two months old) and it appears to work fine.
Including HyperCanvas synth which I know I have Dave hooked on for life! :)
Is the latest Wine version doing some cool stuff with other M$ based
audio apps? Or are you simply remaining vigilant to promote forward
growth? Not that I'd disagree with that concept but its ironic we have
lived with using a Wine version , indeed, the ONLY reliable version that
jack_fst or dssi would work against for the mass's that was quite old.

What's DSSI? Answering self:
http://dssi.sourceforge.net/
From a quick read, how does DSSI allow me to run commercial VST's? Not
clear. Seems like something homegrown that competes.
Sorry about the typo, it should have read dssi-vst. But I think that's
been made clear by some other posts to this thread.
As far as I can tell, the vstserver
project is dead, and the fst project is on a back-burner, so perhaps we
should concentrate on xfst and dss-vst with the latest WINE releases ?
xfst & latest Wine - definitely yes. What's dss-vst? Google didn't
tell me anything.
Also,
I'm in the process of rewriting the VST+Linux tutorial, I'm
displacing the vstserver and fst material and putting up front new
material regarding my experience with xfst and DSSI. It should be
completed tomorrow (I'm not at my Demudi machine).
Seems possibly a bit premature based on these results but I probably
don't have a good view. Clearly the jack_fst stuff that's been there
for the last year or more is probably no longer helpful to many. It
seems like xfst and at least last months Wine is probably a better
solution, but has it been tested with enough VST's to think it works
well? Performance? xruns? All the messy stuff of real life? ;-)
