Audacity - works as root, not as user

[marc r]

Binary package hint: audacity

As a user:
audacity
Segmentation fault
Matters not if there is a .audacity-data in $HOME

As root - works fine.

And, well, that ain't right. 11.04. Used to work on same hardware in 10.10

Can you start audacity from the command line and post the output here?

Can you get a backtrace with gdb [1]?
