Of course !
Since lately I gathered useful experience about the decoupling
of GUI and engine, I'll add the same concepts to evo thus
it will have a simple to use API (probably through a socket
or form of IPC) and driving it from swami will become a breeze.
Reusability of components anyone ? ;-)

Yes this be ideal because you are probably becoming the reference
 sample library editor in the Linux field.
Josh, Christian: about libgig and swami: I know swami is in C while
libgig is in C++, but in order to avoid code duplication, would
it make sense for swami to use libgig via C wrapper or do you think
it would be easier to read and write GIG/DLS2 using your infrastructure
that is already in place ?
As said I'd like swami to become a fully fledged GIG/DLS2 editor
that permit the creation of, access and edit that kind of sample libraries,
without trying to fit them in a SF2 model.

Yes that will be cool, I'll be there too if LinuxSampler gets ready for 
that time (probably yes).
