Ok, thus if it there's a clipping it is "after" Pd (or at the I/O API level). Thanks for the confirmation.

A simple test on Linux with JACK shows that Pd doesn't clip audio that
exceeds -1 to 1:

Other API may be different, and the driver may clip (or do other
dynamics processing) before sending to the hardware.

I tested with a less current version:

$ pd -version
Pd-0.47.1 ("") compiled for Debian (0.47.1-3) on 2016/11/28 at 20:56:10 UTC
