Hi Martin,
assuming p==Pi, version 5.1 (Windows) calculates:
In[1]:=
Integrate[Sin[t]*Sign[Sin[0.999*t]], {t, 0, 2*Pi}]
Out[1]=
3.999990110634892
In[2]:=
Integrate[Sin[t]*Sign[Sin[999*t/1000]], {t, 0, 2*p},
Assumptions -> 0 <= p <= Pi]
Out[2]=
Piecewise[{{1 + Cos[2*p] - 2*Cos[(1000*Pi)/999], p > (500*Pi)/999},
{1 - Cos[(1000*Pi)/999], p == (500*Pi)/999},
{2*Sin[p]^2, 0 < p < (500*Pi)/999}}]
In[3]:=
% /. p -> Pi
Out[3]=
2 - 2*Cos[(1000*Pi)/999]
In[4]:=
N[%]
Out[4]=
3.999990110634892
In[5]:=
NIntegrate[Sin[t]*Sign[Sin[0.999*t]], {t, 0, 2*Pi}]
Out[5]=
3.999990110634892
