The only time there might be an issue is if you run the analog outs directly into a high power amp with DC coupled inputs. These are somewhat rare so there is not THAT much chance of having a problem.
The theoretical issue is that at power up or down you might get some DC on the output which could cause speaker cones to be pushed too far. Not that putting a cap on the output DOES NOT protect you from power on/off transients, they only protect from steady state DC. If anyone is worried about "safety" issues of taking out the caps, just find out whether the inputs you are feeding the Touch into are capacitively coupled. If they are, taking the caps out will give no less safety. If for some reason you still want the caps you should use good quality film caps. Unfortunately they are always MUCH larger than the electrolytic types so probably won't fit in the Touch. You can usually get by with much lower value caps. A 1-2uf film cap is probably going to work just fine in most situations.
