I get "nan" when I blow up a filter or delay line. It's synonymous with pure DC offset to me. The soundcard of course filters it, but it's basically a pure positive or negative signal up to that point. Some LADSPAs do it to me as well, like "Foldover Distortion" and some others.
I've generated some inf and -inf's, before when trying to write externals... To my recollection, those numbers were treated as 0's when passed through an outlet (returned by the function). Your explanation makes a lot of sense, but it still seems like a mystery to me.
