Pluginval can set an AudioParameterBools to odd values

I’m debugging a strange issue that sometimes leads to Pluginval’s state restoration test to fail. This is with an AU plugin, I’m not sure yet if it also happens with the VST3. The test checks if the sum of parameter values is the same before and after a state restore. Under some circumstances, when the test starts, the two AudioParameterBools that the plugin uses have random values that are not 0.f or 1.f. After saving and restoring the state they are correctly set to either 0.f or 1.f, and thu…
