I used VSTAU Manager with a certain success to use VSTs in DAWs that
support only AU.
Albert, that's great news, waiting to git-pull it.
I think we should attempt to have one architecture for VST so that users
won't be confused, and therefore if your new architecture has more features,
let's try to incorporate everything into it (including portamento, etc.)
and then remove the obsolete VST architecture from the source.
By the way, I just kept the license from the previous versions I've built
upon, meaning I didn't have those issues in mind at all. I guess an MIT
license would encourage developers to use Faust for developing commercial
plug-ins.
