If something is producing files with values outside of ±1, it is broken and should be fixed. That said, I'm not in principle opposed to adding a command line option to scale the input by some specified factor. However, due to the way the code is structured, doing so is not a trivial matter. Bear in mind that SoX is old, from a time when floating-point was often slow, if were lucky enough to have it at all.
