I have a Mac G4 PowerPC running OS X 10.4.11
I downloaded from "Gnaural for Tiger 10.4"
Gnaural/GnauralMacOSX_1-0-20110606.zip
The file downloaded is "GnauralMacOSX_1-0-20110606.zip"
I unzipped it with the Mac default BOMArchiveHelper.app and got Gnaural.app
When I double click on the Gnaural.app icon it does the "expanding ghost" graphic of the icon as if it is launching, but nothing is launched.
I unzipped GnauralMacOSX_1-0-20110606.zip again using Stuffit Expander.app and got Gnaural.1.app
Double clicking on that has the same non-result.
I saw your response to someone else with a similar problem referring to a dmg image. I'm not getting a dmg image, but I would think that if opening the zipped file gives me a .app file that should work.
What should I do to resolve this?

The odd part is that the file you downloaded isn't the one under the 10.4 link, that's the one under the general link for 10.5 or greater; your technical problem may be solved just by downloading this one:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnaural/files/Old_Releases/Gnaural/gnaural-1.0.20090909/Gnaural_MacOS_10-4_Tiger.dmg/download

The url you tell me to "download" (http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnaural/files/Old_Releases/Gnaural/gnaural-1.0.20090909/Gnaural_MacOS_10-4_Tiger.dmg/download) redirects to a parent folder and I get this error message "The "/Old_Releases/Gnaural/gnaural-1.0.20090909/Gnaural_MacOS_10-4_Tiger.dmg" file could not be found or is not available. Please select another file."
I went through every folder and sub-folder available through this parent and could find no file called "Gnaural_MacOS_10-4_Tiger.dmg". The only .dmg file I could find is here: Home / Gnaural_old / Gnaural_Old_Stuff / Gnaural_MacOS-10_5_5_alpha.dmg which appears to be for OSX 5. Has "Gnaural_MacOS_10-4_Tiger.dmg" been removed from SourceForge? If so, how can I get a copy?

I did a Google search and found "Gnaural_MacOS_10-4_Tiger.dmg" at the following:
http://fr.sourceforge.jp/projects/sfnet_gnaural/downloads/Gnaural_old/Gnaural/gnaural-1.0.20090909/Gnaural_MacOS_10-4_Tiger.dmg/ (the French language version of the Japanese based SorceForge site!)
Successfully downloaded .dmg file and opened the disc image of the OSX 4 Tiger version of Gnaural from that. However, I am having the SAME PROBLEM with this version. When I double click on the disc image on my desk top, it opens a Gnaural.app icon in a finder window. When I double click on that icon, it does the "enlarging ghost icon" graphic effect as if launching the app - but the app is not launched.
Now what?

I have exactly the same problem, I found and downloaded every version available, following both your links and my own searches, but I am having the same issue.
After unzipping, I try to open, I get the "Enlarging ghost icon", but the program never launches.
These are my specs:

Mac Pro ( Early 2008 ) 2 x 3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
   Memory: 12 GB 800 MHz DDR2-FB-DIMM
   ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB
   OS X Mavericks 10.9
