comment Cubase, midi device and Latency
oh i don't care about +1 stuff:) If your keyboard doesn't generate sound (I think you have a controller keyboard, right?) then it'll just send midi keypress info to your pc. Your pc turns those keypress "note on" and "note off"s into audio in that "Microsoft GS Wavetable SW" (a possible software synthesizer to use). You may want to read up about midi over here: pianocheetah.com/midi and about piano basics here: pianocheetah.com/piano

comment Cubase, midi device and Latency
I'm pretty sure you can't get around the latency of the "Microsoft GS Wavetable SW" synth. There are a ton of VSTs out there, but don't ask me for help with them. The only softsynth I can =recommend= is the one I wrote. SYN which is part of the install at pianocheetah.com - however, it'll only work with the midi sequencer it comes with (PianoCheetah). If you need any help with it, my email is on the homepage, too, and I will DEFINITELY help ya with it - it's my top priority :)

comment Piano hammer, i.e. how to get proper release sounds in Linux and the most compliant SF2 engine
I'm pretty sure FluidSynth does panning correctly. But I don't use linux. I've yet to meet a piano SF2 that's worth beans...

comment Sustain pedal in a MIDI file
don't use windows media player - it's synth is terrible. use a real synthesizer. You understand that a midi files is just notes, right? It'll be turned into sound by the synth you use. So depending on which sounds the synth uses (and expecially their quality) the sound will vary greatly.
