Mike,

I'm still drawing a blank.

I deleted my PATH variable (a long one indeed), then rebooted, went to 
csound\bin (as shown below) and ran (commandline) a .csd located there. Same 
result.

I *do* have a number of portaudio .dll's on my machine, including several 
rtpa.dll's in 5.07 and 5.08 directories. These, however, are unique 
installations, with no remaining environment variables to my knowledge (I've 
gone through my system variables rather thoroughly).

Here's the complete console output again:
