Peter,
   Back from vacation. Took a quick second and built Specimen. It built
fine, and with your help I could load a single wave fail and play it
using the play button. This is on Alsa-1.0.0rc1.

   I'm not clear whether it is your intention that Specimen be able to
load multiple wave files on different MIDI notes today? Should I be able
to put different loops on different notes and then play them back?

   Thanks! I hope you generate a bit of interest and this turns into
something bigger and better.

Take care,
Mark
