it is not so much clipping, but a discontinuity in the waveform, which
produces the unwanted distortion. sinesum creates not exactly 1 cycle
of the waveform, but also extra samples for the tabread4-interpolation.
this is hardly visible (and audible) with big tables/low frequencys, but
easiely visible with a small table (sinesum 40 1 for example), you can
see that the waveform does not start and end at 0.

bis denn!
