There are risks when developing audio code, especially of sudden peaks when wearing headphones. There should be a layer of safeguards that are opt-out.
Limiter on the outputs to the audio driver (could be implemented in RunGraph)
Blowup detection (like Reaper has) to turn off an output if it is suddenly jumping to 1.0 or inf or something like that
Metering and gain options to avoid people turning up their audio interface volume suuuuuper high to hear faint sounds (in automatic GUI)
