I notice there doesn't seem to be any Vestige package in Portage, not
even in the Pro-Audio overlay, but there is FST and VST-DSSI. What's
the typical way for Gentoo users to get VST support these days? Never
really cared before, but I'm think of checking it out now.
Also, I notice that compiling Ardour with VST support throws up a
warning about trying to enable it on a 64-bit host being an adventure of
sorts... Any common strategy amongst Gentoo folks for doing that?

I'd be interested in the same thing. I've never tried to enable VST, but
it would be good to know if it works on 64-bit or not in gentoo.

You can't add win/x86 VST support to a 64 bit host and then use 32 bit
plugins (which almost all win/x86 VST plugins are at this point). VST 2.x
(which all current VST-on-linux technology is based on) contains pointers
in the API, and since a 64 bit host/plugin and a 32 bit plugin/host would
disagree on the data layout, it will just lead to crashes and/or wierd
behaviour.
This isn't a coding problem - it is a design flaw in the VST 2.x spec
(which was fixed in the VST 3 spec, btw).
