Don't know about LMMS, but Petri-Foo and Specimen do handle loop points.

If you set "Playback" to "Loop" on the Sample tab (the first tab, the

one that shows a picture of your sample's waveform), you can then

double-click on the waveform display window and get a dialog to come up

that gives quite a lot of control over setting the loop points for that

sample.  There are some videos on YouTube that demo this -- search for

"Specimen sampler" there.
