I questioned mine for quite a while :-) I am going to also suggest that
we both try posting at the LinuxSampler forums. Many LS folks seem to be
very results-oriented.

I will be eager to hear results. I also encourage you to set ALSA up
according to two patterns I recently learned right here; I have summarized
them here:

I have found that better general stability is a result. I am beginning
to be convinced, that relying on ALSA device numbers, is a very bad idea on
many levels. And yet this is what every distro does right now.
Hopefully a change can be motivated.

Well said, Guru. Given your words, I will probably just have to blow
the $ on the Bosendorfer (unless you found a free one?), because my
priorities are identical.

We will see. I will hopefully find myself motivated enough to go to the
LS forums in the next day or two :-)
J.E.B.
