Qsampler and Ubuntu Studio

[Graham Goode]

I know that Qsampler requires linuxsampler in order to function, and that
due to the 'non commercial' licensing requirement linuxsampler cannot be
included, but I use Qsampler all the time. I download and compile
linuxsampler for myself, so I am aware of the different licensing issues
regarding the different parts needed. So, maybe drop it from the
pre-installed stuff, but please keep it available in a supported repository.
I use Qsampler because I have GIGA samples and it's the best Linux
alternative currently available.

I know that it is frustrating for new users to click on Qsampler and only
get 'cannot connect to linuxsampler' errors, so if Qsampler is kept in the
distro then maybe a warning notice can be made to run if linuxsampler has
not been installed.

Having said all this, please know that I think Ubuntu Studio is absolutely
amazing. I wish it could have VST support in Ardour and Wineasio prebuilt
with Wine, but I understand the philosophy governing Ubuntu. Well done guys,
this rocks!
