It's not necessary to determine by eye whether the waveforms are being rounded or flattened while playing music. In fact, I'm not sure that's even possible, except in extreme circumstances. Instead, just calibrate the scope to the amp with a sine wave and note where the amplifier clips on the screen. With music playing, no signals should reach that level.
