+Description
+-----------
 
 LinuxSampler is sampler backend, thus server-like console application. It
 provides a TCP based network interface with a custom ASCII based protocol
 called "LSCP" to control the sampler and manage sampler sessions. You either
 have to send commands manually to LinuxSampler, e.g. by connecting via
 'telnet' or by using 'netcat' or you might want to use a graphical user

     The general procedure by calling './configure && make' on the source's
     toplevel directory will compile and 'make install' as root will install
     LinuxSampler on your system.

     Note: if you are compiling from CVS you have to explicitly call
           'make -f Makefile.cvs' before doing the above procedure. This will
           generate all autotools managed build files.
