The fact that some dodgy hardware can be overdriven doesn't change the bug here: pulseaudio can't let alsa-utils set arbitrary mixer levels, and then disable the mixers. If it does, it risks leaving the outputs muted, too quiet, or as you point out, clipping. Pulseaudio should set the mixers to a reasonable place before it disables them.
