 Frankly, I'm not all that interested in re-creating cymbals for the sake of 
re-creating cymbals. I'd never use them for what I do anyway.

 What if linux audio were to utilize some sort of {FM?} synthesis sample 
module {small, loadable by anything and capable of generating a specific 
range of sounds. Not pre-recorded but generative... tunable, etc... over time 
individual modules would get optimized to a high degree... "presets" 
basically but for single sounds.} that could work across the platform. 

 Samplers {like postgresql {gnumeric, open office, etc...} with some audio 
specific code} could function as librarians... to standardize tunings across 
a given bank of samples, to set up dependencies and interactions between 
given sound modules, etc, etc... with apt {synaptic, aptitude, dselect, etc} 
you could set up a server somewhere and interchange libraries and modules.

 ...Anyway... given some time it could make the need for standardized "sample" 
libraries a thing of the past.
