[LAU] Stutter effect for linux

[Steiny]

i have used sooperlooper as a sample player triggered by midi, so in that sense its quite similar. same with terminatorx (which is greatly missed; all the recent versions segfault on various button-pushes, at least for me on arch, debian, slackware, puppy etc.  its a bummer that this great app is no longer active).  but the ecasound project is active, and its control interface is robust, which is why i thought it might do as a sample player triggered by midi...
