J.E.B, it's rather reassuring that I'm not the only guy on the planet
using linux live. I was beginning to question my sanity lately....

Thanks! I'm now quite excited about AVlinux, downloading right away...

The sample IS a Bosendorfer sample. I also have a Steinway SF2 (the same
sample, perhaps?), which used to sound good to my ears.... UNTIL I
discovered the sound of the Bosendorfer. Compromising on the sound is
something I am NOT willing to do. I'm a pro musician first, linux
afficianado next. So if I can't get linuxsampler to be stable, then I'm
switching to OSX and Logic Pro.
I'm looking forward to further suggestions on making jack (relatively)
crash-proof. Meanwhile, I'm pinning my hopes on AVLinux... (and then
Sabayon/UbuntuStudio-RT kernel... but I pray I never have to).
Cheers,
Guru
