Audio regions with fixed playback rate

Sometimes you wanna have a sample playing at a specific rate, no matter what is the current tempo.

The problem is, when you automate tempo, especially with a progressive automation, stretching the sample to keep it at a constant rate is almost (if not totally) impossible. I dont know if it would be possible, but i think it would be helpful to be able to give some tracks (most importantly audio tracks) a "tempo automation exception", meaning that they play at the same rate, fixed, no matter what is the tempo.

Example where this would be helpful : i'm using a vinyl noise track in the background of a track, at a certain point I want the tempo to slow down, so either my vinyl is pitched down, or its sample rate is affected, but in both cases the sound is different from the rest of the track.

"change pos" "absolute" "automate"

Thanks for the reply Andre, when making the post I had in mind these kind of issues, but it was really about throwing an idea here, glad you are interested (=
