Description
If someone were to convert their entire sample library from .wav to .flac (_cough_), they would then have to manually re-select all samples in their projects, even though they're in the same location with the same name.
Instead, it would be nice if the user could allow LMMS to replace these automatically, for example:
> LMMS has detected that some missing samples may be in another file format. Replace DamnSon.wav with DamnSon.flac?
> 1. Yes
> 2. No
> - Do this for all 256 files

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating LMMS's handling of missing sample references and determine how alternate extensions and the proposed confirmation flow should fit together; done means converted samples can be recognized and replacement can be applied selectively or to all matching files.
