I tired a quick mod in MusE to do what the author of the caps ladspa suite
did to handle de-normals. He said "A -80dB signal at the Nyquist frequency

But yeah, obviously at some signal level and type, it should stop.
So I'll keep trying. Noise sounds like the best way. -100dB white to start?
OK...

Ugh. A new MusE options panel: Advanced de-normalization options, he he...

You might want to check ardour. It has 3 denormal protection options (2 that are h/w based, setting processor flags, and 1 that is software based, adding a very very very very tiny constant value ("DC Bias") to every signal. See libs/pbd/fpu.cc to find the h/w stuff.
