Hello, Before you read this rest assured I am well aware of the minefield that is VST support in Linux!
As someone who builds and benefits from your work, I was wondering about the libwine dependency in any VST related packages like DSSI-VST and LMMS. My distro (AV Linux) uses the lamaresh repository Wine packages which of course I don't expect you to support but I can't use your packages for LMMS or even DSSI-VST without ripping out the existing Wine install. In my experience libwine 1.0.1 has reduced abilities with VST plugins in comparison to more recent builds of Wine and although I have noted the there is a new "libwine-unstable" none of your existing VST related packages will use it as a dependency. Would it be possible to at the very least link to the libwine-unstable packages or even better allow for regular Wine and Wine-dev packages to satisfy the dependencies as well? I wouldn't think that this is an uncommon scenario with many Debian users let alone AV Linux users to be wanting to use the lamaresh packages instead of relying on the very outdated libwine 1.0.1. Lastly does the pkg-multimedia team have a donations link? I would very much like to send some AV Linux donations (meager as they are) upstream to the team in appreciation for this unprecedented effort in Linux multimedia packaging, soon there will be no need for Multimedia-centred Debian Distros at all. (perhaps that is your goal!?)
