Yes, I forgot the MIDI mapping thing, but even that is manageable for me
since I have more MIDI ports than I know what to do with I just have
this tool on a port by itself. For most users that may not be true.

I wouldn't even suggest going 'out the door' at all in the beginning.
For people subscribed to this list, those interested could put it
through a few weeks paces before we announced anything more widely. 

When it was announced, if we could place 3-5 non-copyrighted, but
tested, GSt libraries on the LinuxSampler web site, then interested
people could get libraries that we knew worked. This (to me) would be
far more preferable than supply LS with no libraries and having people
choose anything they want, resulting in a huge number of questions on
day one.

Let people test known, good libraries first, work out their hardware
problems, and then if they have specific problems, report those via some
bug tracker and *not* just on this list. I have literally 100's of
libraries. I don't think you want me to report each problem as an
individual email.

My 2 cents,
