if you look in your song's project folder, and then inside the /sounds 
sub-folder, you should find your individual tracks ... but best way to 
do it is to go to ardour's "Session" drop-down menu, select "Export" and 
then "Export session to file". In the resulting dialogue, you can choose 
to export individual tracks, rather than the whole mix at once.

one thing, though (and i'll probly have to add something regarding this 
to the site) - once they're exported from ardour, best thing is to 
convert them to flac. also - if you have, say, a basstrack that is 
basically just one loop over and over - then just upload the loop - not 
the whole track .... there is a 30mb upload limit for each file at the 
moment (probly forever), so you have to make sure your zipped up samples 
will fall beneath that.
