This sounds painful as a FL Studio user.

 

Yeah, you raise interesting and important points. I fully admit to ignorance when it comes to ARA(2), but maybe somebody who uses it can fill in. How does ARA deal with warped audio? Because wouldn't that imply that the host has to render the clip into a separate buffer passed to the plugin kind of defeating the purpose of ARA in the first place.

Maybe Live could expose things on clip by clip basis and sending loop information (or just repeating time segments) to the plugin, but it'd still have to deal with warp points somehow.
