Yes yes yes :)

Ofcourse we should aim for the stars, but for now I'm happy just as long as it 
plays simple things without any serious problems. 
First thing's first, get something functional out the door and the crowd will 
come.
The only thing I'm missing (short term) is removal of the clicking, fix of the 
midimap and possibly addition of jack support.

Then I'll test it to bits!! And tell everybody else to start poking at it :)

To be truthful, I don't even believe LS has to match the performance of 
Kontakt anytime soon. Hardware is cheap and since they won't support 64bits 
for a long time coming, LS will run circles around it!!

Pinky: Brain, what are we going to do today?
Brain: The same thing we do every day. Try and take over the world.
