[ecasound] ecasound-2.4.6.1 possibly disrepsects LADSPA spec WRT last buffer

Hello All,

while debugging my plugin which I can't publish I've noticed this:

"
MyPlugin_1020 :INFO: input_buffer_number=1020
MyPlugin_1020 :INFO: input_buffer_number=1021 ___input_buffer_number=1021
MyPlugin_1020 :ERROR: STEP_SIZE=12288 is not a multiple of sample_count=147 at line #292 of 'MyPlugin_1020.c' file
[* Controller/Processing stopped (cond) *]

- please pay attention to "sample_count=147".

IIRC, LDSPA spec demands two things:

1) sample_count should be a power of 2;
2) sample_count should not change after plugin instance is created -
this is important for block transforms like FFT.

ecasound was invoked with -b 2048, and until this last buffer sample_count
was 2048 as expected.

My plugin has other problems at the moment, but sample_count is set by
host (i.e. ecasound in this case), so most likely it's an ecasound problem.

For me sample_count absolutely needs to be constant and power of two
because of ":ERROR: STEP_SIZE=12288 is not a multiple of sample_count=147"
- STEP_SIZE needs to be a multiple of sample_count, STEP_SIZE itself
is 3 * 4096 == 3 * (2 ** 12), etc.

If it's really an ecasound problem, I guess last buffer should be
zero-padded at the end.

Thanks,
  Sergei.
