because it's marked as "unsafe" in QC Leopard.  This
causes it to not
work in Safari, for example, because someone could
maliciously use it
to make a remote recorder without your consent.

.. or you could record copy-protected material, which
I'm sure is more of an issue for Apple...

Call my a cynic....


I'm normally a proud supporter of healthy doses of cynicism, but to Apple's defense I don't think that Copy Protection was high on their list of reasons to remove this feature. There are many tools the do exactly what you're describing, and in a much higher quality than anyone could ever hope to achieve from the Audio Input patch. With just 14 bands, even at 60 fps one would be hard-pressed to make a recording of anything that would sound good :)

More likely, they simply picked a policy like "If it's content generated by the user, without positive action on their part, it's unsafe" -- meaning that video, audio, and file-read/write access is blacklisted, while mouse and keyboard access is not -- and then stuck with it exactly. It's a good policy, too. Java Applets and Flash Animations are similarly sandboxed for similar (if not identical) reasons.
