Never really had any sound problems on Pismo 400 (upgraded w/ the PowerLogix 500MHz G4), 10.2.8, 768MB RAM but seeing this thread had to check it out. Found out two things:
1) if you have the Audio Midi Setup utility open and adjust the volume with the volume up/down keys on the keyboard.. occasionally the left/right volumes go up or down different amounts (I'm assuming this is what Taylor was referring to as attenuation) as you press the up/down volume keys. Very odd. It actually seemed that the more I did it, the less they tended to get out of synch... or this may have just been my wishful thinking
2) when they get out of whack, checking the output balance in the sound preference pane does in fact reflect this discrepancy as the balance moves "off center". That is, you can adjust this just as easily from the "Output" tab of the Sound preference pane by "centering" the balance between the right and left channels.
.. fyi ...

This is sort of neat. When I saw that the audio setup utility gave the
option of adjusting channel levels for different types of inputs, I was
finally able to fix a long-standing quirk of my iMic: the levels of any
signal recorded when the iMic was connected to USB bus 1 (the port
closest to the front of my iBook 800) have always been about half as
loud on the left channel as they are on the right. That problem appears
to have been solved now.
Many thanks to whoever initially brought up the pass-through issue on
the list!

Sound pass through is set in OS 10.2.6 (and earlier versions of OS X?) using the "Audio MIDI Setup" application in Applications:Utilities. Strange location for this option, I think, but there it is.
