Right, I can reproduce that. It turns out that it's a bug in the  
documentation. OpenAL is not guaranteed to support overall gain > 1.0,  
so always clamping it to 1.0, as Pipmak currently (unintentionally)  
does, seems like the best choice for consistence among different  
implementations. All we can do is change the documentation to reflect  
that - which I just did.

You should make your sound files loud enough that they never need  
amplification greater than 1.

Thanks for the report!
