The clipping which occurs in the "correct" result is probably already contained in the mix or mastering, isn't it?
It seems to be possible to retrieve the audio without clipping by reducing the overall volume in this particular sample, if thats the desired goal is another question.
From what I understand, madshi wants to offer a two-pass option in eac3to to reduce the volume and re-process the file if such clipping issues are detected. It wouldn't be bitexact to ArcSoft or the source, but probably be better than clipping!
