I have been using Carla-Git for many months and using Win32VSTs without issue. Thanks for this wonderful work!
Upgrading to Vivid has caused windows 32 bit VSTs working. I have not yet worked out which package change it was. Normally I use Rovee, so I will focus on that in this bug report, but all Win32 VSTs I try seem to do the same thing.
Symptom. Rovee loads into carla-git and the GUI can be brought up and used faultlessly, but no sound is transmitted through the plug in. The "power" button on the rack shows Green (On) for a short time after loading then goes to Red (off). Pressing the power button manually makes it Green for a while, with the same result that after a short time it goes off. The meters on the rack move.
On the pack bay, connecting the mic through rovee to the speakers transmits no sound.
Starting carla-git from a terminal gives these errors:

Each time I press the power button the second error (! fTimedOut in CarlaPluginBridge) shows again. Same line number.
installation was tried from scratch as outlined in the linuxmusicians original thread with:
apt-get install wine-rt carla-git carla-data carla-bridge-win32
rm -rf ~/.wine
export WINEARCH=win32
wineboot
