    There is some ambiguity about "FST" term. We can say that Ardour use libfst and FSTHost is successor of Standalone FST host which including libfst. Starting this project, I merge different pieces of code from different places, branches etc.- including part of codes from Ardour. After all most of code was refactorized or rewritted and OFC a lot of features was added by me (e.g. FXB/FXP support), but it should be not so hard to adapt new libfst to ARdour.

    Some time ago I made proposition to Paul Davis for replace libfst in Ardour and made some bridge between Ardour and FSTHost (maybe something similar to dssi-vst). He never answered me for that.

    About the problem with GUI. There are problems with embedding Wine window (VST editor) in GTK. v1.5.2. I added some checkbox for allow to open editor as completly independent window. Please uncheck this checkbox and try close/open editor. If this did not help please write some e-mail to me (you can find it in README file).
