I respectfully disagree. If it was possible to run arbitrary win32/x86
VST's on linux/x86 with no hassle, there would very little barrier to
people moving to linux for their audio needs. plugins are often the
blocking issue to this migration, not host applications. like it or not,
the plugins exist, and they are not appearing for linux at anything
close to a sufficient rate to justify any active audio users migrating
at present.
