I've done it with GigaEdit, but that's not Open Source.
We've discussed this before on the LinuxSampler list. There will some
day be a LS-Edit application to do similar things. We've also cajoled
the author of Swami a few times to consider adding this to his feature
set. He's expressed moderate interest, but I don't think it's moved very
high on his priority list.
Anyway, I think it would be a great thing to be able to have some truly
free giga instruments for use with the linux sampler project.. In the
first instance I think we need to clear the use of these samples in this
way with the University of Iowa, but by the sounds of their webpage I
don't think they would have a problem with this.
There are many, many good, and completely free gig files. Look at
Worra's Place for the best overall set I know of:

Note the links to subsections are just below the ad at the top. (Not
everyone finds them)
Take care,
