Many thanks for the suggestion, I didn't think of using a more
intelligent approach. I'll work something out.

Depends on the content. On low dynamic range, distorted, overdriven
sounds like certain kinds of metal, this happens on about half of the
subframes. On most popular music, up to about 5%. On classical music
never. For the intended use (archiving of tape recordings with ample
headroom) probably never as well. A more intelligent approach as
suggested could bring these numbers down.
