Thanks!  The license, which is gpl2+ (version 2 or later), according to
the LICENSE file (and source copyright headers).

I was about to push this, but running the binary yields:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ /gnu/store/qi31sc2z7nbi4c3wpj7w218fgbjmfsns-samplebrain-0.18.4/bin/samplebrain
liblo server error 9904
Segmentation fault
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Could you please look into that?

Fixed in v2.

It looks like that error is because liblo is unable to bind to a port to
create an OSC server. Samplebrain starts up that server on init to do
its audio routing. Were you running the binary in a container, or on a
system that does not have a soundcard or audio software (ALSA, Jack) set
up?
I can't reproduce that error on my ALSA-based system.

Semi-related, is there going to be a revert to fix QT_PLUGIN_PATH on
Wayland? I saw it was being discussed at:
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/57742

When I run QT applications under XWayland, there is a dialog box bug
that crashes my WM (Sway) and requires a reboot. I first noticed it when
running the dolphin emulator, but now I see it with Samplebrain too.

I use pulseaudio/ALSA. I haven't tried with Jack running.  I've tried
with your v2 update, and it worked!  So I've now pushed it, adding your
copyright line at the top.

It would need to be attempted and see if everything runs well even when
mixing Qt 5 and 6 in QT_PLUGIN_PATH, but upstream says it should.
