Pardon my ignorance but are you sending back the sampler > playback via ip too? Much better latency than serial MIDI... it's very fast over gigabit ethernet. Audio is sent back via S/PDIF. Everything is synched to the same MIDI clock anyway, and I'm not recording live audio at the same time, so latency doesn't matter in this case. > I was hoping to get away with LinuxSampler but your whole ipMIDI thing > intrigues.

There's also netjack, but it's a bit more complex to setup between Windows and Linux, whereas QMidiNet -> ipMIDI is relatively painless. Of course, I can't record more than one track at a time until I can upgrade my Windows audio interface to use ADAT or similar (I have an RME Multiface on Linux, it can support 8 analog inputs also, but on Windows I am using a M-Audio FireWire solo and it only has 2 outputs. Netjack would allow multiple channels of audio back over the ip interface, however, but I haven't gotten that far yet. -- Brett W.
