CLAP wrapper calling reset in start_processing

[bashmd]

So i'm not super knowledgeable in how this is supposed to work, but running my CLAP plugin generated with nih-plug with element as host causes problems, because they seem to be calling start_processing, process and then end_processing for each block.

Reset in my case does what i think it's supposed to do, flush all buffers and state and start over. This means i'm permanently in an underrun situation and never get to process any samples, since i need a few for my plugin to work (noise cancellation with amd driver's onnx models).

I'm not exactly sure who's at fault here, i've tried to take a look at the CLAP repo and to understand the spec and the supposed flow, but that also didn't make things more clear. I have found no other CLAP plugin doing reset() on start_processing though.

The VST3 plugin generated with nih-plug on the other hand works just fine with element.

So the 3 options here are:

1. i am doing something wrong and not using reset as intended
2. nih-plug shouldn't be calling reset in start_processing
3. element is misbehaving and shouldn't be calling start_processing / end_processing around each process call

I'm hoping you can shed some light on this as this currently prevents any use of nih-plug generated CLAP plugins with element.
