AA2.0 imposes a -6dB limit on mono recordings

I would like to know if anyone can achieve any signal in -6 dB to 0 dB
range when recording to a mono track in Edit mode with Audition 2.0.

If not, are there any plans from Adobe to fix this serious recording
algorithm bug in Mono? Or I'm doing something wrong?

I'm using M-Audio 2496 sound card. I also tried with a SoundBlaster
Live and Realtek audio boards on a different computer. I tried it on
both Vista and XP with same results. While recording the AA2.0 meter
shows signal up to 0dBFS, but the waveform clips at -6dBFS.

I also didn't notice any FAQ or mention of this limitation/bug on
Adobe's site. Is there any undocumented -6dB pad for mono recordings
in AA2.0? Weird.
