I've done the same test [32 harmonics with 0 phase versus 32 harmonics 
with constant random phases] using MATLAB and heard significant 
differences between the 2 clips [which really surprises me]. I don't 
think what you're hearing is inaccuracies from the C sin() 
implementation. MATLAB uses 64-bit floating point by default.

Nick.
