Note that LinuxSamper does not resample the gig files to the 48K
sample rate so your samples are going to play about 1 note too high.
GigaStudio works the same way. Almost all gig files are recorded at
44.1K. Very few exceptions to that. (I have about 3000 gig files...)

If you want gig files in tune then you need to get a sound card that
works well at 44.1K or get the Alsa resampling stuff to work better.

CAVEAT: I haven't used LS in 6-8 months since they switched the
license to non-Open Source. Possibly they have added something that
addresses this, or attempts to, and was effecting the quality of the
audio you are getting.

Cheers,
