Low-bitrate OMASA shows a bit high MLD (over 10) in BASOP decoder rendering to binaural

Basic info

Bug description

There are a couple of cases where BASOP decoder binaural rendering show over 10 MLD score for OMASA input that is in PreRend bitrates. In practice, this should be comparable to MASA which already shows generally better scores. Decoding should also quite nicely already.

Here are plots for the first example case. It could be that the diff spikes in the time plot are the issue but not sure.
