[Bug 333090] [NEW] Amarok crashes trying to configure audio unless run with sudo

[basejumper9]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: amarok

After upgrading to Janty Alpha amarok started crashing during the
loading window. Seems like it could be related to GStreamer. I have
tried switching from alsa to pulseaudio with not much of a difference in
error messages. Error messages are as follows:

$LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libkjs.so.1 amarok

<unknown program name>(10792)/: Communication problem with  "amarok" , it probably crashed.                                                                                               
Error message was:  "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" " 

The LD_LOAD flags are probably un-needed but the only other relevant bug
report I could find suggested them.
