Hi,
If it is not open enough to take advantage of

any truly open soundfont-like standard anywhere on the
planet?
for me it somehow looks as there's need to define a new,
absolutely free file format for sampling data.
Unfortunately, this would need lots of time and resources, and
as 'we' are not enough users, it wouldn't be spread widely
enough.
I don't know how featurefull it is, but specimen's beef bank format
might be worth looking into. I chatted with the author a while ago on
#lad at freenode. My fuzzy memory is that it uses xml and wouldn't be
too hard to script.
Sounds good, but until it's as common as SF2, I personally will stick
with what we're trying to achieve here: a commandline SF2 processor,
for mouse-o-phobics (like me) and for people that need something more
accessible (like Julien).
Which reminds me: Julien (if you're reading this) what would your
requirements be? This isn't specifically for you, but you did cause
this project to start, so you should have some input.
