How could any signal blow a speaker unless your amp was too high to begin with?
If the software did some full-deflection sudden pops with the volume knob turned up loud enough, those could theoretically damage speakers.
My system is tweaked so that -10db is about the perfect all-by-myself-on-the-freeway listening level, and I have that extra few DB as headroom so that I can turn things up extra loud if I need to (for instance, a really quiet song if voladj is off for example). I could imagine a full-deflection pop being speaker-damaging even on my carefully tuned system.
