I have a hack that will allow you to run jack_fst with
wine-20041019.
I would guess that the problem effects any method of running VSTs, but
I'd really like to get real info. It's a pretty simple hack that fixes
the problem in totally the wrong way, but if someone needs it get in
touch offline, or set up a web site where we can post the information
more globally.

The only really compelling reason is that you happen to want to use VST
effects or instruments as plugins in a DSSI host (which today means in
Rosegarden).
Another practical reason to use dssi-vst is that it's probably less particular
than jack_fst or vstserver about what versions of Wine it works with, but
that obviously isn't an issue for you. It is also possible that some VSTs
might work in dssi-vst but not in jack_fst or vstserver, and vice versa, just
because of subtle differences between the hosts, but that's just theory --
I'm not aware of any examples.
That would be a big deal IMO! I spent a LONG time trying to get vst
stuff working. In the end, the only 2 versions of Wine that have worked
with jack_fst were the one on Kjetils site and the current version I'm
using which is 05052004.
jack_fst will almost certainly offer lower
latencies and better realtime
performance than either vstserver or dssi-vst.
This is a deal killer if the latency is significantly worse.
As soon as I get a chance I'll check it out.
Thanks!
