Thanks for the info below, it's quite exciting to see this real-time SAOL
stuff coming up.
Concerning vst2, it's not Windows-specific as you may know : Steinberg
currently provides (free) vst2 sdks for Win, Mac, SGI and BeOS, and allows
anybody who agrees with their (free) license agreement to implement the vst2
interface in his/her host or plugin.
Maybe Charlie Steinberg wouldn't mind if people ported vst2 to Linux, which
would encourage scholars to go for it ? I'll Cc this to the vst-plugins list.
What do you think, Charlie ? Wouldn't it be nice if people could develop vst2
plugins in SAOL as well as C/C++?
