Basically, liquidsfz tries to transparently load hydrogens xml format, and
turns its xml content into .sfz opcodes. For instance if you use
```
$ liquidsfz /usr/share/hydrogen/data/drumkits/GMRockKit/drumkit.xml
```
you can use the hydrogen GMRockKit in liquidsfz. This works because a lot of
what the python script has implemented for bsewave files is now also done (even
somewhat more correctly as far as I remember) by
* https://github.com/swesterfeld/liquidsfz/blob/master/lib/hydrogenimport.cc
So as soon as Anklang has liquidsfz support, we also have most of what this bug
report is about supported in Anklang.
What this doesn't do is
* looking for drumkits in well known folders
* downloading additional h2drumkits
* extracting h2drumkits
* displaying author and/or license infos
(which all could be done by Anklang)
It is also somewhat limited in terms of what hydrogen features are supported,
but if we need more, we could improve the liquidsfz importer. In cases where
there is no corresponding sfz opcode, we could invent our own private opcodes
(i.e. liquidsfz_foo_bar=bazz for a hydrogen foo_bar=bazz feature). In these
cases liquidsfz bugs could be filed.
Finally one problem here is that we don't split each drum into its own stereo
bus. So you cannot for instance place a reverb on the base drum, but a
different effect on the snare, as you only get a mixdown from liquidsfz which
contains all drums. This is ok for a start, but suboptimal, but in theory we
can implement it by extending the importer and adding new either public or
private API to liquidsfz to support splitting its output in more stereo
channels. Its a somewhat advanced feature though, and we probably can ignore it
for now.
