That is good news! I was expecting I'd have to compile Linuxsampler as an
LV2 under OSX just for A3.

Are you saying A3 will have a AU<->VST bridge? If so, will we be able to
transfer sessions between lxvst plugins under A3 Linux and the same plugins

say this will work between LV2 and AU plugins (as with Linuxsampler) then I
suppose it could also work for going between AU and lxvst, no? In the
specific case of NoiseMaker it makes more sense to side with AU as TAL offer
32 and 64-bit packages for AU but only 32bit for OSX VST.
Will we:

sure
public outcry will make it inevitable for 3.1! ;)
No. I am not aware of any notable plugins for OS X that are available
only in VST format, or rather, *not* available in AU format. Apple
ensured by that their own exclusion of VST support from some notable
programs of their own. A few independent plugin developers rely on
users using VST<->AU bridges (such as those made by FXpansion), and we
would basically be doing the same thing, but as a host.
* Least unlikely I know but would there be any
chance I could save a
project
using Linuxsampler as a LV2 under A3 Linux then
load the same project
using
the AU version of Linuxsampler under OSX?
yes. absolutely no reason why this would not work.
