I'm using the Steinberg headers and I know this issue too. IIRC Qtractor
only supports VST effects, but instruments and even native Linux VST
effects seem to cause issues on 64-bit architecture, not only for
Qtractor. On 64-bit architecture I only had VSTs running with a the
Windwos application (host) Reaper on wine(asio), anything else, e.g.
dssi-vst never was ok for 64-bit installs on my machine, I only had good
luck when using 32-bit distros on my 64-bit machine. Hm, I'm compiling
Qtractor with VST support all the times, but was never able to use it.

Rui, is there a idiot save VST we should use for tests? I guess I asked
this once before and got the answer that there are some VSTs, but I
can't remember and missed to test them.
