Having those would really be nice indeed. But both have troublesome
licensing issues, which is a major show stopper since the distro would
become break the law. The video world is very difficult in linux
because of all the patenting and property behind all major codecs, a
great example is the dv format video cams use, and the weird avi
license issues.

vst is property of steinbeck and they don't allow much distribution either.

maybe this things will become more open eventually, at least I hope so.
