It avoids having a very short block at the end - it will be
absorbed by the previous one up to a maximum of 48 frames.
For example 100 = 32 + 32 + 32 + 4 becomes 32 + 32 + 36. 

This plugin is very old, in more recent software (the 
zita-* series) control values are evaluated at exactly
every N frames (where N depends on the algorithm being
controlled).
