Wrong samplerate passed to JSFX plugins on @init

[BirdBird]

When using ext_noinit = 1.0, @init always seems to see srate to be 44100, regardless of the users samplerate, when the plugins are loaded. (Either inserted, or taken online)

@init
ext_noinit = 1.0;
a = srate;

@sample
b = srate;

Hitting Full recompile/reset afterwards makes the plugin get the correct samplerate inside @init.

If using ext_noinit, you should probably check for samplerate changes in @block or @slider (@slider will also get called in response to srate changes)

[BirdBird]

To be clear, the first @init always gets the wrong samplerate when loading the plugin in this case, whether there was a samplerate change or not.

This means that every single JSFX plugin that uses ext_noinit and has some code for DSP initialization at @init based on srate, will sound different at any samplerate that is different than 44100 upon subsequent project loads.

I think that is a bug?


Edit: Ok, moving things to @block!

Really? I'm trying to remember where I might have used ext_nonint, but not realized this...

I guess it might a good idea to add this to the ext_noninit documentation. The documentation for srate already have some remark about not depending too much on @init, although IMO it's a bit cryptic, so it could be improved as well.

Tale -- good point, docs updated.

BirdBird -- definitely better to check in @block or @slider, you'll catch samplerate changes initiated by the user or project, too. (@slider is guaranteed to be called after a samplerate change, so probably as safe as @block but a slightly more efficient place)

Having said both of these things, we can make @init use the last-known samplerate rather than 44100...

Great, thanks!
