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
