In addition to other solutions I've just read in the Digest (and I'm
glad you've solved it, if I understand correctly), another trick
(subject to legal considerations) that may come in handy is using an
app like Audio Hijack Pro or Wiretap to capture system audio. That'll
give you a completely new file (various formats). 

It's much less efficient, especially since it requires real-time
playback, but especially for short files it may do just the trick if
nothing else is working.
