I did  not test  it yet, but  32-bit  VST plugins  should  run fine on
64-bit system, thanks to the i386 emulation mode.

However the bottleneck here is that both fst and dssi-vst need wine to
run, which is not yet available for Debian amd64.   I've tried to port
it, but I had no luck so far. Anyway I'll keep an eye on this issue..
