My first suggestion is to take over this discussion to the
linux-audio-user list at
http://www.linuxdj.com/audio/lad/subscribelau.php3 as alsa-user is
more a list for discussing problems with the ALSA card drivers, not so
much with applications. 

Then I don't understand, if you want a sampler to *play* like an
instrument or if you want to arrange samples like a sound engineer?

For arranging I'd say nothing beats Ardour (ardour.org).
