This part "system volume controls have no apparent effect" seems like an
important clue to try to fix this problem. I'm guessing that what we need to
do in the AudioDestination is to clip the final output to 0dBFS (a range from
-1 -> +1). This is supposed to be the clipping point anyway, so I'm interested
if this helps fix the problem. I'm guessing that the rendered audio signal is
so "hot" that even with drastic gain reductions using the system volume
control, it won't help...
