The finale of The Sopranos?

Personally, I think he got clipped. The audience being whacked didn't seem like a logical theory for me, because the show never broke the fourth wall like that, so I didn't think they would just for the finale. The ten seconds of silence, along with all of the talk of death and not hearing it when it happens (Bobby posed the question, and Sil mentioned not even hearing a thing during the Gerry Torciano hit until Torciano was already on the floor). That's the conclusion I felt strongest about, but others may have a different interpretation.
