No. All imports will eventually end up in the project audio directory
(that you get the option to leave it outside at the moment is a bug)
so just copy it in :)

Sounds about right to me :)

http isn't a bad URI; there's no reason why we can't importerctly from
a remote URL (and indeed gnomevfs URLs like ssh: will need to work
too). Trying to import something that isn't an audio file; I believe
there's already stuff to handle this in the existing import-event code
(Chris P was working on this) so you may want to look at that or hook
up with him.
