Well, there are a lot of them, and some are very good.
I would have thought that it might be better to go for the same approach
that xine uses to play video via. windows media codecs though, that way
you don't need wine. I thin it works by unrolling the (simple) windows
loadable object format, which I imagine VST uses too. VST plugins for IRIX
are .so files I think.
What we really need are more people coding GPL'd LADSPA plugins and LCP
guis though. VST plugins are all very well, but hardly any of them are
Free, and they don't lend themsolves to being used on the command line,
which we like doing for some reason ;)
