I'm confused by this statement.

I've done my building on 12.04 x64 and VST support works fine...

32-bit precompiled is better than no precompiled, so humbly, begger's
certainly can't be choosers here, but I'm not sure I understand the extent
of the problem...

i.e. If we build and package on 64-bit with wine, is it not running on
64-bit with wine?

Is it more of a matter of one package with two architectures in it?

I'd love to help where I can here, as I think Ubuntu/Mint is our #1 FOSS
user base.
