Yeah, that's exactly what I'm talking about! :)

Damned if I know. My knowledge of LADSPA and JACK are very limited - I'm
just playing the ideas man here, and a wrapper in which one can use his
Windows VST synths, be it done with JACK or LADSPA, seems to me an
incredibly useful idea.
It might not be the best or most efficient solution in the end, but it would
be a fantastic crossover solution. Those of us with expensive and well-made
VST synths (and no suitable Linux-based substitute) wouldn't have to give
them up.
