+    the experimental AU binary package of LinuxSampler, available from our
+    <link ref="http://download.linuxsampler.org/dev/mac/">download server</link>.
+    As this is still an early development version, please follow the ongoing
+    discussion and development on our
+    <link ref="https://bb.linuxsampler.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&amp;t=295">web forum</link>
+    and <link ref="http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=linuxsampler-devel">developers' mailing list</link>
+    to avoid known problems. Feedback appreciated!
