Thank you Thomas, this is amazing work!

For the issue I have brought up I would it be sufficient to only
have the software part that reads in the file to not clip the values and
apply the "gain" and/or "normalize" effects before converting to 32-bin
integers for all the other effects. Not super elegant, but possibly
more easier than changing all effects?
