[linux-audio-user] [ANN] dssi-vst 0.3

[Mark Knecht]

I have a hack that will allow you to run jack_fst with wine-20041019.
I would guess that the problem effects any method of running VSTs, but
I'd really like to get real info. It's a pretty simple hack that fixes
the problem in totally the wrong way, but if someone needs it get in
touch offline, or set up a web site where we can post the information
more globally.
