Re: [Linuxsampler-devel] Debian packaging

[Matt F. <fl...@Ma...>]

Hi again,

OK - that information should round it up for me !

In my opinion, it doesn't matter whether it is betaware ... it is more 
important to let people know of the existance of this project and try to 
snow ball momentum ... with more hands on deck, the more support you 
will receive.

Regarding the synthesis engine efficiency, perhaps I can help ?
Can you pinpoint some documentation or the source code which 
encapsulates the slow algorithm ?

Regarding the disk streaming bug, I guess you don't know exactly where 
this bug is or you would have solved the problem ... any written 
description of what that bug is ?

Matt
