[Note: you did not cc the list.] It fries my audio, too, only hearing the program but nothing else, but only as long as it runs, the other audio coming back when it is taken down. I think it may not be necessary to use lanchctl to when restarting coreaudiod, because it just restarts the latter if it stops. Restarting coreaudiod, going to sleep and back again, login out and in, restarting, and fiddling around with the headphone jack did not really help when the problem was present on my computer. One could sometimes get it back a few seconds, a minut or sometimes some tens of minutes, but not permanently. But after doing the procedure I described, I haven't had any problems. So you might check if you followed it exactly, or check if you have some other components installed that may break the sound. (I actually installed Perian again, rebooted, then marked it uninstalled in System Preferences, rebooted, then took it away from / Library/PreferencePanes/, rebooted before applying the Combo 10.5.8.)

No, sadly it did not work. Here is, for example, a one-liner by kijjaz that kills my audio every time.

...

Step s => dac; float x, y; while(samp => now) { (((x * pi => Math.cos) + y => y => Math.cos) + x => x) * y => s.next; }

I've also tried going into launchctl to stop & start the coreaudiod, but that didn't work either.
