Good point! Very good one.
And big shame on me again, because:
drwxr-xr-x 6 tom users 19 14. Mai 16:35 vst
^^ i set it like that LONG time before writing an ebuild - and didn't

that dir writeable to the audio group.

Most of the VSTs with installer asked where the VST dir is on
installation. I gave it /usr/local/lib/vst, and that worked, as only
the .dll gets copied there.
