I'm not familiar with Sonivox but I use high-end samples on an almost
daily basis (EWQL, Kontakt, etc). They are all Windows based sample
libraries, however, and I host them using Reaper x64 on a Windows 7
box, and do all of my sequencing and mixing with Rosegarden and Ardour
respectively, on Linux, of course, using QMidiNet/ipMIDI between the
two machines.

What sample engine are you using?
