Bot is not necessarily true. Audio levels inside jack can well be beyond [-1:1] without any clipping. Inside jack its all float-numbers, they don't clip anywhere in the range of typical audio usage. Only the conversion to integers for the sound-device is the place where clipping happens. And at that place the convention is to map the range [-1:1] to whatever integers the bit-depth of the device has.
Also when exporting to files in non-float formats, like the common 16 bit integer WAV.
