It looks like LMMS doesn't store absolute paths by default anyway, at least
according to my quick look at a simple mmp file. Are the samples in some
path that LMMS knows about (and thus can scan when you reopen a file)?

Really. That doesn't seem right based on what I'm seeing. I tested on LMMS
0.4.2 from ubuntu which is pretty old. I tried adding the sample via the
library as well as the file browser view to /usr/share/lmms and both times I
got a relative path name, which seems to indicate LMMS figured out that the
sample was in the library.
As for the feature itself, I would agree that it's a good idea. Maybe there
are some caveats though. This could also be accomplished by supporting zip
files, either with a new export plugin or as a real save format or some
combination.
I could probably try to code this myself if you people think that would

I have a feeling the devs would agree :-) Make sure you have a recent
version-- could've been fixed at some point.
