I'll admit there's a significant "because I can" factor :) There are
some advantages to using LinuxSampler, though -- it uses less RAM for
large sounds (since it streams data from disk), and it's easy to create
and recall instrument setups for a complete track. If you're already
using LinuxSampler for one instrument on your track, it's easier to load
more instruments in to that than to fire up Qsynth/FluidSynth as well.
I think SFZ has limitations when it comes to handling multiple sounds
within a single file, though, so it's no substitute for SF2 and
FluidSynth when it comes to handling GM sets.

I gave it a shot on the jRhodes3 SF2 file, and
the resulting SFZ works
well in my LinuxSampler CVS build. If anyone wants a copy of this, email
me off-list and I'll send you a link. If there's enough interest, I'll
email the author and see if he's happy for me to release it publicly.
Interesting, but (I'm not being sarcastic here) what's the point? Why
not use fluidsynth to play soundfonts, seeing as that is what it was
designed for??
