It's non-destructive in Live – I'm not making any changes to the audio file. It's the exact equivalent of an audio item in REAPER. Live can just do this one thing that REAPER can't do.
Using a sampler doesn't really work because it won't play the audio clip part way through (yes I know REAPER can play MIDI notes part way through, but that doesn't mean it's going to play the right audio at the right time).
It's okay if REAPER can't do this. REAPER can do lots of stuff that Live can't do.
