Sorry I don't have any numerical data... I only noticed that Sound Forge's
play meter shows clipping while I was playing some Vorbis decoded
samples and I was interested if this clipping has any (audible) quality
impact, especially because I don't like to perform normalization on
grabbed WAVs (I like to leave them in their 'original' form).

BTW Sound Forge 5.0 final is out and it supports Ogg Vorbis
encoding/decoding. How neat. :-)

Greetings,
Aleksandar
