True - yet this user asked, if he can run VST-plgins whithout wine and

he can. Of course justice is no solution for those, that want to have

NI-Stuff running on Linux. But anyway: wine running DLLs is no solid,

future-proof solution for Linux Audio either. If Steinberg would really

release VST under a OSI-Licence at least, the situation would be much

better.
But to have proprietary VST-plugins running perfectly well on Linux will

not help promoting the development of free software for Linux like LV2

or AMS.
