JACK doesn't get a chance to handle the output of a plugin until the
host hands it over to JACK and the process cycle ends. Just have a
reverb plugin outputting denormals and then have the host apply a gain
value and boom .. JACK can't play a role in that signal flow.
I mean set the flush-to-zero flag (and/or any other processor state
stuff required).
I know Ardour 'injects' non-zero data to fix denormals, but last I
tinkered with this, setting that flag made the problems go away. This
was many processor generations ago, though.
