What is the output of the scons command ? And actually the lib is 
libxml2 so maybe this is why you have this problem.

Already implemented ? ;-)
Do you mean with the cut-by system if you have for example the closed 
hi-hat on a range of velocities and the open hi-hat on another range of 
velocities ? Otherwise i don't see how you can get it now, for example 
between instruments of the same kit .
What i was thinking of is to have the instruments of a kit cutting each 
other.

Do you mean that you trigger the sample with a midi note-on but that the 
sample doesn't take the midi note-off and just keep on playing until the 
end ?
If so, i'm planning to implement it and also a repeat mode , so you can 
choose the mode for each instrument.

At first i thought that i wouldn't add this feature because one can do 
that with a sound editor. I'll have a look at this one if i have some 
time ;-)

Yeah it shouldn't be too complicated , i can put commands like "quit", 
"reset/reload file" , "open <filename>" . What do you think ?
