I wonder how difficult it would be to come up with a wrapper for VST plugins that allowed them to be used under linux? VST plugs are DLL's. I have seen a package for linux that uses Win32 DLL's wrapped in something (aviplay). Perhaps if someone could write a VST plugin implementation under linux, allow it to read the VST plugins through a wrapper, then write a VST plug to proxy the data over to the linux box (cluster), it could work. Don't know about latency though. VST plugs are already bad enough in this regard. I would be a neat hack though:)
