One thing that is broken in OS 10.5 is the USB Audio CODEC. I wasted a lot fo time and money trying to record analog sources through an ADC to my MAC in 10.5 and got horrible intermittent distortion. Downgrading the USB Audio Codec solved the problem. Thouth I'd share this on the list, in case it may save someone else similar frustration and expense.
