<description>
AudioEffectCapture is an AudioEffect which copies all audio frames from the attached audio effect bus into its internal ring buffer.
- Application code should consume these audio frames from this ring buffer using [method get_buffer] and process it as needed, for example to capture data from a microphone, implement application defined effects, or to transmit audio over the network.
+ Application code should consume these audio frames from this ring buffer using [method get_buffer] and process it as needed, for example to capture data from a microphone, implement application defined effects, or to transmit audio over the network. When capturing audio data from a microphone, the format of the samples will be stereo 32-bit floating point PCM.

- Gets the state of your plugin editor. This is used when saving the scene (so state is kept when opening it again) and for switching tabs (so state can be restored when the tab returns).

This data is automatically saved for each scene in an [code]editstate[/code] file in the editor metadata folder. If you want to store global (scene-independent) editor data for your plugin, you can use [method _get_window_layout] instead.
