Packaging fst and dssi-vst

Hi all, I'd like to one or both of these two applications: http://dssi.sourceforge.net http://joebutton.co.uk/fst/ in Debian. Basically they allow running VST audio plugins under Linux, using wine. Both of them are GPL, but unfortunately depend at build time on the VST SDK, which is non-free

Is fst distributable in binary form?

Hi all, I've recently asked about the possible inclusion in Debian of FST [0], a program to use VST [1] plug-ins with Linux via wine and which build depends on some non-free headers (the VST SDK). See this thread: http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2006/03/msg00010.html As far as I understo
