Gem currently doesn't come with any FreeFrame binaries.
you can get a (free) plugin package e.g. by downloading 
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/freeframe/FreeFrame1.0-05.zip

afaics this includes a "PeteWave.dll" which i think is the same as 
WaveVFX (i don't know why they chose different names for linux and w32 
binaries).

so: get the zip-file, extract it, add the path containing the dll's 
(something like "<FreeFrame>/plugins") to Pd's search-path (or just copy 
the dll's into a place already searched by Pd) and instantiate 
[pix_freeframe PeteWave] (or [pix_PeteWave]) et voila!
