I guess you are on a system (eg OS X) that handles too-loud audio output 
weirdly (not just simple clipping).

Try using "open -bytes 4 out.wav" to writesf~ (which won't clip) and 
post-process in an audio editor that supports floating point wav data.

Or turn down the volume and apply your own dynamic range compression etc
