I think that the problem is in an.ms_envelope_rect, particularly the fact
that it has a non-leaky integrator. I assume that when large values
recirculate in the integrator, the smaller ones, after pushing the gain
down, are truncated to 0 due to single-precision. As a matter of fact,
compiling the code in double precision looks fine here.
