So why not always have [clip~ -1 1] before and/or after your pd master

Dunno, I only ever use OSS and ALSA, which already clip. I have no use for the extra clip.
It would guarantee clipping for anyone who uses your patch.
Could the distortion resulting from clipping out of range values possibly
result in a signal anywhere near as loud as what you're describing?
After a [clip~ -1 1] it can't get worse than what we discussed before.
I'm talking about how terrible it can get before getting into the clipper.
