I'm getting closer to getting sound to work from an RTSP stream from my security cameras.

Can someone tell me why this…
will run as root, but not as a normal user?

The past several days I've been trying different gstreamer elements as a normal user but they've always just died. Tonight I mistakenly run one as root and it didn't die, but continued to run with a timer, so I'm assuming  those gstreamer elements are valid?

When I run as a normal user this is the result.
