This is good news. I heard some vague rumblings about this a while ago, but I
didn't know it was actually happening.
Hopefully a lot of software will implement it soon. If I actually get good at
C++, maybe I'll even try my hand at porting a few "open-source" VST's.
There was this guy named Richard Brooks, who created a bunch of knob and slider
images (for a Win program called SynthEdit, which I still use). His site's gone
now, but I still have those images somewhere. Maybe I can convince him to make
them CC, if I can find him...
Speaking of Windows programs, there's a feature I use in WaveLab that I haven't
been able to find in any FOSS software. That program has something called a
"master section," which is basically just a bunch of slots for plugins. They
all effect the sound in real-time, and when you've tweaked them to your liking,
you hit a button called "Render" and it processes the active wave files in
non-real-time.
I know about stuff like JackRack, but AFAIK you can't render to a wave file
except in real time. Also, using Audacity, you can only render one effect at a
time, and you can't listen to it in real time (e.g. to edit the file with the
effects on). Anyone know of a tool that does this? It makes mastering a lot
easier.

I'm not the one who came up with it, but I don't remember who did. I like the
Pere Ubu connotations.
And, thanks for the kind words.
I'm deliberately avoiding writing about the whole Linux usability stance. I
think by now I've made whatever point I could make.
