JAMin has some denormal killing code that protects it from denormals
coming in from outside. Its possible a small number could be generated
internally, it shouldn't happen often though. None of the plugin have
feedback loops or filters AFAICR, so they shouldn't cause denormals.
Try connecting a jack bitscope to one output and see if the denormal
counter increases: http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~njl98r/code/ladspa/
