>It's important to note that if you take a sinewave and clip it, then sample it, you'll still get aliasing because you'll still have a big infinitely fast step somewhere, which is why audio equipment is so big on having steep lowpass filters before and after digital (or, sampled, at least) bits.
Ah-ha. Gotcha. So my intuition was more or less correct. It's not that clipping in digital is especially susceptible to aliasing, it's that when people clip in analog they brickwall the signal to get rid of the harmonics.
