Are you saying A3 will have a AU<->VST bridge? If so, will we be able to
transfer sessions between lxvst plugins under A3 Linux and the same plugins
as AU's under A3 OSX? I didn't think this would be possible but if it you
say this will work between LV2 and AU plugins (as with Linuxsampler) then I
suppose it could also work for going between AU and lxvst, no? In the
specific case of NoiseMaker it makes more sense to side with AU as TAL offer
32 and 64-bit packages for AU but only 32bit for OSX VST.

That is good news! I was expecting I'd have to compile Linuxsampler as an
LV2 under OSX just for A3.
