I'm mostly running RH9, occasionally FC3 and Demudi. I've only seriously
tested VST support under RH9. I can easily imagine other problems rising
from GCC updates.

Well, at least the hope of continuation is there. Some plugins work
under vsti that will not run under jack_fst.

Users would love to see that happen. Obviously the use of VST plugins is
a great incentive for many musicians wishing to switch to Linux, so a
stable set of sources would be most welcome.
