I haven't actually listened to the demo yet, but:
 - Can we convince you of going 48kHz/24bits? That is far more common in au=

dio=20

production. Using 44.1kHz in a setup running at 48kHz includes possibly nas=

ty=20

artefacts from up-sampling and a loss of precision and frequencies. Down-

sampling is far easier on the quality...

   Maybe its better to make do with one or two layers less. And maybe help =

to=20

fix gigedit. linuxsampler is said to be able to do more then 2GB files.
 - When looking for compression for easier distribution: What about=20

distributing a "source" archive that contains the wavpack/flac compressed r=

aw=20

samples, the gigedit file and a makefile for creation of the .gig-file?
Have fun,
Arnold
