[freepats] sound sample resources

[ml at distasis.com]

Was recently researching a multimedia topic and happened to run across
some sound sample related web sites.  Thought I'd share what I found in
case others might be interested.

I found a cross-platform soundfont editor for the sf2 format.  Looks like
it's built using Qt.

The LinuxSampler project was founded in 2002 with the goal of producing a
free, streaming capable open source pure software audio sampler with high
stability:
