pssssst ...
I don't want to make any statements based on vaporware ,
but during 7-10 days or so I will release an interesting prototype-app
based on all my low latency , interthread communication and disk streaming
experience.
stay tuned !

And the coolest thing would be to figure out the GIG format and being able
to import the nice samplelibraries like
Peter Ewer`s Symphonic Organ Samples and Peter Siedlaczek's Advanced
Orchestra Set.
I've only heard a small demo on CD but these sounds are getting
very good reviews, especially because the disk based samples offer so much
detail because of the virtually unlimited space.

where are you getting the samples from ?
do you plan a Gigapiano clone ?

Benno.
