basically, the story is fairly straightforward:
1) adding samples together may overflow the sample format
2) it is almost certain never to happen if the sample format is floating point
3) in integer or fixed point formats, you need to "solve" the overflow
problem at the time of the summation
4) in the floating point case, you need to solve the overflow problem
whenever conversion back to an integer (or fixed point) format occurs
(it may never occur, in theory; in practice it always does).
there are an awful lot of systems out there that don't solve it in
either location, even though this is blatantly incorrect. it doesn't
bite all that often.
