So what's the proper workaround here? As far as I'm concerned, Dag has broken the update system on our Centos boxes. Is there any other way to allow my system to be updated than to disable using Dag's repo?
(not including removing Audacity--which I don't use a LOT, but I do use it.)

Sure is, just use yum prioritys so when you do yum update it will exclude "DAGS-Repo". Just follow the tutorial on wiki.centos.org.
I've had that set up ever since I first added any repositories. I've got it set to a priority of 10, is there a better value to use?

Where "protect = 0" in the above needs to be protect = 1 for all centos repos so then yum want pull in Updates from other repos that will break your install ans the centos repos need the highest priority. You may have to experiment with both installed, also however they may be conflicting against each other also. Therefor you may have to remove one. I know yum prioritys set to 1 in CentOSBase.repo will exclude any other repo when running yum update
This should help you understand it more, http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities. Also there is the Protect Base yum pluging, http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/ProtectBase.
