Pianoteq is a physically modelled piano, not samples.

I assume you mean Sampletekk. I've got a fair few Giga3 pianos from 
Sampletekk and they work fine in Linuxsampler, except that the impulse 
response stuff does not work as that feature is not present in LS yet.

The LS site gives details of which Giga3 features are not yet fully 
implemented: http://www.linuxsampler.org/features.html

Be warned, some of the Sampletekk pianos require assembly, which doesn't 
seem to be possible in Linuxsampler's gigeditor and requires 
Gigastudio/sampler's editor. I don't think this is the case with the PMI 
Historic Keyboards or the fortepiano which is a part of that collection.
