[PlanetCCRMA] Re: jack_fst - Library requirements

Excellent Mark!
It took a while to download wine-20040505, but now jack_fst works 
alright! Cheeze Machine on Linux!
There's some wierdness with other plugs but I'm on track. eg. you 
sometimes have to try loading a plug twice, etc.
Did you notice that the segmentation fault occurs when there's some kind 
of redraw? Maybe when the bypass/mute buttons are added. I don't know if 
this is only on my system, but the gui changes place in the screen on 
loading, which didn't happen before (it crashed before that). I just 
mention this in case it gives you some clues.
