then determines an optimal interpolation gain compensation exponent

This resets and settles the interpolators. There will be no output

This method resets and settles the affected interpolators. There will be
no output updates for the next `order = 3` input samples.
Affected channels will only accept one input sample per input sample
period. This method synchronizes the input sample period to the current
frame on the affected channels.
If application of new interpolator settings results in a change of the
overall gain, there will be a corresponding output step.
