Those headers are needed to build apps like LMMS (bug #100170) and use VST Plugins. 

We can't just mirror those headers and make LMMS ebuild (or other) fetch them directly because the Steinberg's license forbids redistribution.

vst-headers-2.3.ebuild

An initial ebuild. Now it only install AEffect.h and aeffectx.h. More headers will be added in case that any program need them.

I tried to install this from sunrise overlay, but the URL for fetching the file leads to a 404...

Maybe 2.3 is not available anymore, or has changed location. 2.4 and 3.0 are available though. 

I don't find my Steinberg password, it seems the package can be download from (requires a registered account):
http://www.steinberg.net/en/company/3rd_party_developer.html

I haven't followed lmms development, but does it still need these headers? You may want to check proaudio overlay's lmms ebuilt which seems to support vst without depending on this package.

Indeed, I found that out in the meantime as well. LMMS is now at version 0.3.2 
and does not depend on these headers. So it may be a good idea to remove this package as well as lmms from Sunrise.

Upstream stopped making VST 2 SDK available for download by the end of 2013 so I don't think one can even officially download the source tarball any more. Closing as obsolete.
