The code was supposed to be denormal-protected without those 
patches, and I've found out why it isn't.

cmeterdsp.cc, lines 64,65 should be:

    zl += _w1 * (*pl++ - zl) + 1e-15f;
    zr += _w1 * (*pr++ - zr) + 1e-15f;

The current code uses 1e-20f as the offset. This is more than
enough to avoid denormals in the lowpass filters, but in the
following lines zl and zr are squared, and 1e-40f definitely
is denormal.

The same code is also used in jkmeter and jmeters. All will 
be updated.
