Let's work together to find a 'preferred' free platform that can serve
as a VST host. This would be a Windows app that we can load our VSTs
into. I haven't done this under Windows because I have commercial apps
that serve this purpose, but for our needs here we need a free, even
Open Source, Windows app that will host VSTs. We could then work with
the Winde developers to ensure this host works, and when the host
works we can then work to support more and more VSTs.
Does anyone know of a potential VST host that we could try to run under Wine?
My 2 cents,

I agree too! This is a very good plan and I'm sure that if the wine guys
sense that there is really a community out there who needs this kind of
support they will do something. I don't know how easy is going to be to
find a windows project that beside being free it is open source. I found
this site for now:

There Bidule http://www.plogue.com/ looks ok, but it doesn't seem to be
Open Source. I'll keep searching... and let's start the campaign!
