If the offending signal is sustained the problem will occur slightly later.If a signal is random and has high level high frequency content the information cannot be packed below the maximum allowable range.
With normal music it will practically never occur because music is by nature rather 'predictable'. And if it happens the measures are simple and have no significant or detectable impact on sonics.
I similar problem exist with dsd where they strongly suggest to keep the signal input -6dB below the maximum range of the ad converter.
With good recording (for dsd) and mastering practises these 'overload' problems are non issues.
