What's DSSI? Answering self:

From a quick read, how does DSSI allow me to run commercial VST's? Not
clear. Seems like something homegrown that competes.
As far as I can tell, the vstserver
project is dead, and the fst project is on a back-burner, so perhaps we
should concentrate on xfst and dss-vst with the latest WINE releases ?
xfst & latest Wine - definitely yes. What's dss-vst? Google didn't
tell me anything.
Sorry about the typo, it should have read dssi-vst. But I think that's
been made clear by some other posts to this thread.
Also, I'm
in the process of rewriting the VST+Linux tutorial, I'm
displacing the vstserver and fst material and putting up front new
material regarding my experience with xfst and DSSI. It should be
completed tomorrow (I'm not at my Demudi machine).
Seems possibly a bit premature based on these results but I probably
don't have a good view. Clearly the jack_fst stuff that's been there
for the last year or more is probably no longer helpful to many. It
seems like xfst and at least last months Wine is probably a better
solution, but has it been tested with enough VST's to think it works
well? Performance? xruns? All the messy stuff of real life? ;-)
I'm not going to put up a revised edition until I resolve the winebuild
issues with Torben's Makefile. The only problem appears to be a syntax
issue, hopefully I can resolve it within a few days.
Best,
