but how come, since you can also get audio stream with values over the boundaries of -1 & 1?

Pd is 32-bit *floating point*, so you have 32-bit resolution between -1 and 1. SeeĀ http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_point

Hi, I know pd operates in 32bit precision, but that is for all numbers out there, which can be data control or audio streams. Now, output audio values is actually just from -1 to 1, so we can't say that the audio output in Pd is 32 bits.

So I wonder what is the actual audio bit resolution that we have in Pd.
