What I think you need is for linuxsampler to become a usable gigasampler
player (it kinda works a little bit sometimes right now) - there's some
disturbingly nice gigasampler libraries out there.

For this very reason I have Chickensys' Translator Pro (running under WinXP).
Yeah, it sucks to have to use Windows for the translation process, but the
resulting files are usable on a Linux system. I have translated all my Gig
files to Soundfont format, which are quite playable in Fluidsynth/Qsynth. The
only thing I lose in translation are key switches, in which case are
translated to separate instruments.
See: http://www.chickensys.com/support/software/translator/soundfont/giga.html
for details.
