The absorber inside will damp it and, as a practical matter, broaden the Q, but even without porous absorption inside the cavity, a resonator will still absorb at the mouth. In fact, the absorption will be of a greater magnitude
without the absorber inside, though of a much narrower Q, and re-emission "ringing" is likely to be more of an issue.
