What is VST?
VST's and VSTi's are audio plugins and instruments usually written for
Windows. They are professionallyand widely used in Digital Audio
Workstations (DAWs), such as Cubase.
In fact, they are mostly nonfree (I found some free (as in beer) VST's
but I didn't encounter a free (as in freedom) VST's yet).
Here is more information in case you are interested:

There is a dssi plugin wrapper designed for using these Windows VST
plugins in Linux. And I packaged it:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=492221
In order to use dssi-vst on x86_64, it needs to be built against 32bit
wine + 64bit other libraries. Now here are my questions:
1- Does our buildsys support such builds? Fedora's x86_64 buildsys
does not contain wine, and I'm reluctant to submit this package just
i386, because it won't be much useful with x86_64 audio software
(ardour, rosegarden etc)
2- Since there are no known free VST plugins which one can use with
dssi-vst, I am also not sure if this is Fedora material. What do you
folks think?
