Prevent SoX from doing the clipping?

Hi list,

I have a heavily "overflowed" WAV file (samples written in float 32-bit
format): instead of [-1.0,+1.0], the samples range goes as far as
[-5.0,+5.0].

Using SoX to get raw PCM audio samples from WAV file:

`sox --bits 32 --channels 1 --encoding floating-point --rate 48000
input.wav output.raw`

I get warnings:

    sox WARN sox: `input.wav' input clipped 1163400 samples
    sox WARN sox: `output.raw' output clipped 605664 samples; decrease
volume?

When I look into the output, I see the samples were clipped, and the range
is [-1.0,+1.0] now. However, that is not what I want.

I would like to have exactly the same output as input, just in different
format (RAW instead of WAV). Is there a way to prevent SoX from doing the
clipping?

Thanks!
Danijel Domazet
