Sounds pretty good... I have done a little bit of work with
VSTs (was thinking about developing my own vst-host before I
went off with the asio2ks project) - i'm not really that much
of a gui-designer - and a vst-host needs some good gui. 

I think a VST-instrument needs a good gui also, but someone
else could contribute there, as I really don't have any experience
with QT... If you guys think this is ok, I'd like to do some stuff
for the network layer and perhaps even the vst-wrapper for the win32-
part.

I'd use rtp for the audio-signals (same stuff that is used for
VoIP), there's also a draft for midi over rtp, but I'm not sure
if there's any other prot that would be better for midi...

I have not invested that much of time looking at the ls-control-
prot-spec yet, I'd need to do this the next couple of days...
