That would be a big deal IMO! I spent a LONG time trying to get vst

what advantages might there be for the vst
specific stuff in
running this client as opposed to jack_fst or vstserver?
The only really compelling reason is that you happen to want to use VST
effects or instruments as plugins in a DSSI host (which today means in
Rosegarden).
Another practical reason to use dssi-vst is that it's probably less particular
than jack_fst or vstserver about what versions of Wine it works with, but
that obviously isn't an issue for you. It is also possible that some VSTs
might work in dssi-vst but not in jack_fst or vstserver, and vice versa, just
because of subtle differences between the hosts, but that's just theory --
I'm not aware of any examples.
jack_fst will almost certainly offer lower latencies
and better realtime
performance than either vstserver or dssi-vst.
This is a deal killer if the latency is significantly worse.
As soon as I get a chance I'll check it out.
Thanks!
