Sorry, I can't help you with your precise query, it's been a while since
I've tried running VSTs using either DSSI-VST or FST, although I did
have MrRay73 running at some point in the past with both.
I've encountered problems in the past with loading some of the custom
SynthEdit modules in both MrRay73 and MrTramp, which might point towards
the audio error you mention, rather than GUI, but I really don't know
for sure.
These days I have no trouble at all running it (and quite a few other
VSTs, including other SoundFonts.it ones) in the freeware (but not
FLOSS) Cantabile Lite VST host using Wine and Wine-asio. I realise this
might be more overhead than you ideally might want on an Eee.
I hope that might help in some small way.

Hi @all,
I'm trying to start the E-Piano-plugin MrRay73.dll with
jack-dssi-host dssi-vst.so:MrRay73.dll
It is my first dll-plugin. Two errors are logged, one concerning audio
and another a "GUI thread". Is someone able to evaluate, which one is
the fatal?
I run jackd with Realtime switched off on an Intel Atom based eeebox
with Debian/squeeze and will change to a RT-kernel, once the plugins I'm
interested in run in general. So I guess, the fatal error is not the
realtime issue.
Maybe the errors just indicate, that MrRay73.dll is not compatible with
dssi-vst (... don't know. anyone?).
Please take a look at my logs:
