LS will work with proper 32 bit samples now. It used

I hate to be a jerk and crap on someone's project, but this is a
clear violation of the GPL. Here's some GPL FAQs that explain this:

Software freedom zero requires that a program be usable for any
purpose whatsoever with no restrictions or limitations. Of course if
I produce a hardware device that uses a modified LinuxSampler, my
modifications are required to be free software.

make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians
have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine
man in the bonds of Hell."
