Thanks for your feedback, Q!

In the meantime I tried a few things:
* update on all packages in debian/testing

* upgrade KDE3.5 --> KDE4.2,

* compiling dssi-vst-0.8 with Steinberg vstsdk2.4 instead of vestige

headers.

* starting another plugin AZR3.dll with success.
Both (vestige or steinberg) versions of MrRay73.dll ended up with ...

For a short period of time (until "Aborted") I see MrRay73 in jacks

connection table as readable client. A MrRay73 GUI never appears.
My guess is, MrRay73.dll is incompatible with dssi-vst :-/

I could have known, there is no entry in the Linux Vst Compatibility list:

Any other good Rhodes-Clone-plugin known?
