Who says yafeh means good in the beraita of qetoret? Perhaps it has
that word's primary meaning, as in, it is fitting, beautiful to speak
so while grinding it up?

CM responds:

So what is your point? Why is it "fitting" to speak while grinding it up??

RAF wrote:

 it isn't the voice that causes problems,
but the speaking over an open barrel of wine, IOW, producing a qol.
Why would it be bad for the wine? Because some spittle may end up in
the barrel, introducing some unwanted microorganisms.

CM reponds:

While I can not prove you wrong, my feeling is that is not what is meant  here. Had the the gemara meant spittle then that is the word they should have used, not the word kol. According to you, you can talk, but not over the wine or in the direction of the wine or at a distance the spittle would not travel to the wine.
