i wasn't clear enough. let me restate:
* wine works just fine
* you cannot load LADSPA, VST, or any other type of binary plugin that
was compiled for a 32 bit architecture into a 64 bit host.
the two issues are totally separate.

uuuugh, I didn't know about the wine issues (and thus presumably fst).
I don't have any vst plugins currently, but I might someday. Thanks for those notes, Mark. The Java and Flash
stuff does matter to
me. Any comment on WINE and VST support ? Am I best advised then to
simply run in 32-bit mode most of the time ?
wine works on x86_64, but you can't load 32 bit plugins of any type into
a 64 bit host application (unless the plugin API doesn't use pointers
for anything and has all other type widths defined independently of the
CPU type).
so basically, yes, 32 bit all the way if you want to use
firefox/audio/other plugins. Is it enough to just compile the host app (e.g.
ardour) for 32?
no idea. i run my dual opterons in 64 bit mode only, and build all apps
that way too.
