That's the one.  ReplayGain will apply the gain it calculated, but if
it will cause clipping, it'll apply the maximum gain before clipping
occurs.

This is rather academic as almost all recordings made since the early
to mid-1990s will have negative ReplayGain values, not positive ones
that may cause clipping.  Google "loudness wars".

But it's just a tag, the audio data isn't altered and the SB will
adjust its playback volume in accordance with the tag value.  The SB
isn't doing any processing of the volume or adjustment for clipping,
it's merely reading the tag and adjusting.  If you didn't specify "no
clipping" and the track is an unusually quiet one that has a positive
ReplayGain value, the SB may clip if the RG value tries to push the
output past the clipping point.
