Cross-posted due to quietness of mediakit list... 

See the message attached below, from the music-dsp mailing list.

I think it is absolutely vital for OBOS as a media platform to have 
VST3 support, 
has anyone contacted Steinberg yet=3F (note : I haven't done so myself 
because I know that individuals making (sometimes conflicting) 
suggestions can do a lot more harm than good... although I've signed up 
for the VST dev list...)

Steinberg is writing the specs for VST 3.0 as we speak. Anyone who has
something interesting to say about the standard should try joining the
vst plugins list RIGHT NOW!!
