Could the samplers have a "cue" button like decks? That would make their
behavior entirely consistent and allow for "drumming" the samples.

Subject: Re: [Mixxx-devel] Sampler Play buttons
I like "play_start" better than auto rewind because of the
aforementioned drum machine and annoying airhorn reasons. If pressing
start always starts from the beginning, you don't need auto rewind.
And right-click stop still allows users to interrupt playback if they
want.
The only flaw is I wish play_start started at the cue point, not the
start of the file.
