Which means the linuxsampler guys can't link to their own libgig! Someone should tell them about their problems. And which means that its not a question of "is LS under a truly-free(TM) license or not" but more "Does LS have a valid license at all?" Apart from the copyright the authors have. I still hope for someone who contributed to LS who wasn't asked about the license-change... And no, using GigaSampler is not an options for me (altough I own a copy of that app, came with my Tascam) because that would mean a) booting the other system, b) getting latencies >500ms and c) getting the sound delivered on the builtin-speakers of the laptop. And I don't feel like fiddling around in that OS to try to fix b and c. Can't someone write/adopt a sampler to use gig-files through libgig? Shouldn't be to hard for someone already knowing how to write samplers? Have fun, Arnold -- visit http://www.arnoldarts.de/ --- Hi, I am a .signature virus.
