You mentioned some kind of guard-band coefficient - just let user set
it, and change default so that -32768..32767 CD audio range will be
considered not to have clipping.

Again, in practical terms I need the "Max gain without clipping" value;
but if I see a warning message about clipping, I want to make sure it's
not there. I often repeat that by default I consider warnings to be errors,
so for me the best way is not to have false warnings in the first place.

Thanks,
