Hi Guys,
We've found an issue with the Linux builds.

"Many consumer audio interfaces support only 1 sample rate (48kHz).
When JACK used to fail to start if the user asked for 44.1kHz and the
device did not support it, users howled. So we changed it so that it
picks the closest available rate. Qjackctl displays the rate that was
obtained."

As GrandOrgue requires a sample rate of 44.1khz, it is not able to recognize
Jack running at 48khz (if Jack can't run at 44.1khz it will automatically try
48khz and configure itself to that sample rate because of the issue quoted
above).

There is a proposed solution that I have working on my own computer,
GrandOrgue48. A version of GrandOrgue that will run at 48khz, but it also
requires sample sets to be 48khz. I have not yet worked out a way to
differentiate between the sample rate of the wave files and the sample rate of
the audio stream that plays. So, for now, GrandOrgue48 will require that your
sample sets are converted from 44.1khz to 48khz before you can load them.

GrandOrgue48 is not yet ready for release, but if you havethis issue please
let me know and you can become an Alpha Tester of GrandOrgue48 :-)
