Vinyl effects mostly only last a second or so

First, thanks very much for Calf plugins! And I'm fairly new to Calf/DAW, so I apologise in advance if I've missed something obvious.

I'm using 0.90.3 as supplied with Ubuntu 20.04, with Ardour 6.5.0.

I can add the plugin to Ardour no problem, and it clearly works. In particular, "Motor" works fine. However, all the other effects (Hum, Static, Noise, Rumble, Crackle, Crinkle) only last for around a second after I switch them on, and then they stop again. It's as if there's a sample of a certain length and it's not being looped. If I switch one of those effects off and back on, I get another short burst.

Motor, as I said, works fine (it keeps going as long as I have it switched on), and the other controls, e.g. Aging, seem to work fine too.

Same here on a recent Arch Linux with the same general set of software.

I ran this plugin in ffmpeg too. There, it's not clear which parameters control which of the seven audio files (the parameters are numbered instead). However, experimentation revealed that parameter 1 is the motor sound. So all the others stop after a second or so, but the motor sound continues. So +1 basically :)

This was on macOS Monterey:

Two and a half years later, I'm on the same boat.

Are you, by chance, using pipewire? Pipewire is fantastic, but I've witnessed more than once in the past that funny behaviour in Ardour sometimes boils down to pipewire, and gets fixed there.

I just had this issue and I'm using JACK. I don't think it's related to Pipewire.

Issue exists on latest release 0.90.3, but seems fixed in master.

Probably fixed by d81c3d8 ?
