sounds good. i'll be on irc.freenode.org #linuxsampler we can discuss
this in detail.
if you have time and desire, i'd be glad to hook you up with
everything especially since you are already sharp with gdb. then in
addition to your great testing and bugreports you'll be fixing bugs,
adding features in no time!

it might be an indication that your system doesn't have much free ram.
One of the major differences between LS root vs non-root is memory
can't be locked if it's not root. so it's probably getting swapped out
and then there will definitely be issues. you can test that theory by
doing swapoff -a and running non-root.
I do that sometimes when i'm debugging a hang and i don't want LS to
hang the whole system hard :)
