Interesting!  I never thought about the PulseAudio might play a role here. 
Actually, DragonFly BSD's DPorts removed PulseAudio altogether since it never
worked well ;)

I run QuodLibet as a regular user (but I'm in groups 'wheel', 'operator',
'video'; however, I don't think these supplement groups would make a
difference).

I did some searches and someone suggest the 'dbus' should be started as it's
required by PulseAudio.  In addition, PulseAudio may choose the wrong sink.  So
I suggest that you could try:

* make sure 'dbus' is running
* check the sink device in '/dev/sndstat' and set it for PulseAudio with 'pacmd
set-default-sink <sink-number>'
* is 'pulseaudio' running as your user? (On Linux, 'pulseaudio' is auto started
and running as the regular user)

If you could figure it out, I'll update the 'pkg-message' to guide users.

-------------------

On the other hand, QuodLibet sometimes just crash on DragonFly BSD. I believe
this issue is DragonFly-specific (the old QuodLibet also had such an issue) and
I'm investigating it.
