As of today, nothing is more advanced than the released code :) I will
bring it also to the linuxsampler.org cvs repository later on.

Hmmm. I've been doing that kind of tests too but never got anything stuck
as you're saying. Guess I have to harness that a lil'bit more :)

The black bar shows the least filled audio stream buffer, in percentage.
On the far right, the green numbers show the current stream count and
current active voice count. If you hover the mouse pointer over those
they'll show you a tip, won't they?

However I do also find that, most of the time, the counter of active
streams (the first green number) always grows, never returning to zero, as
I would expect. That would only happen if I reset the channel. Less
frequently however the stream usage percentage (your black bar) stalls
high around 98%, only releasing to zero or lower percentages either after
a long period o inactivity and some more notes are played or the channel
is reset, of course.

These are things to account with the linuxsampler server backend, if not a
terrible mistake of mine, wither of liblscp or qsampler's.

Yes, there's a serious flaw in this area, and I'll look forward to it.
However you couldn't get far if it were working as advertised anyway,
since this is where the mentioned GET CHANNEL INFO command server
implementaion is most missed.

We're all counting on your precious feedback. Thanks for the report.
