hope no more. the engine to play gig files is linuxsampler, yes the one
piece with the infamous gpl exception. gigedit is essentially a gui
front-end to libgig, which are both pure-gpl, and its sole purpose is to
edit gig files. afaict the only other option available to play gigs is
gigastudio, but here there's no point in using gigedit to edit your files
as gigastudio does it all. you choose what is better for you ;)

cheers.
