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

any truly open soundfont-like standard anywhere on the

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.
Why? The soundfont spec is a standard. Besides it's supported by
hardware wavetable synths so it's not going away. There is zero
evidence that it's "not free enough".
