Immediately after running DarwinPSK Apple's GarageBand ceased to work.

After a reboot I was able to get GarageBand working with the built in 
audio but it appears that the PowerWave USB drivers are fried. I can no 
longer select the PowerWave from the GarageBand preferences (According 
to the GaragBand preferences dialog the PowerWave device is no longer 
44.1 and cannot be selected).

GarageBand and JamPack have been working flawlessly up until I ran 
DarwinPSK.

A reboot with the PowerWave disconnected did not fix the problem.

We had a similar problem with the PortAudio library in Echomac 
corrupting system settings just after Panther came out but Steve Palm 
was able to patch the PortAudio Libraries before too much damage was 
done.

Hope this helps. If anyone figures out how to get GarageBand working 
again - let me know :(
