  Description     : JACK-based host to use VST plugins on GNU/Linux

 The FST project aims to allow users to use many VST audio plugins
 on GNU/Linux platforms.
 .
 This package provides a VST compliant host which needs to run as
 JACK client to work properly. Currently it supports GUI-equipped
 plugins only.
 .
 The acronym "VST" refers to Steinberg's Virtual Studio Technology.
 Although FST supports a large number of VST instruments and effects,
 it is not built using the original VST headers.
