Yes but this does:

{ SinOsc.ar(200, 0, 1.2) }.play;
s.prepareForRecord("foo");
s.record; SystemClock.sched(1, {s.stopRecording;});

f = SoundFile.new;
f.openRead("foo");
a = FloatArray.newClear(f.numFrames);
f.readData(a);
a.maxItem;
a.minItem;

f.close;

On my machine this hasn't clipped. When I look at this in Spark it's 
not clipped either (once I zoomed out vertical!) It does sound buzzier 
in the finder and QT though. I suspect this has to do with how QT deals 
with out of range floats. Can you reproduce this with an in range 
signal?
