Thanks -- looking at some crash logs on my machine, I think I see 
what's happening.

coreaudiod is loading the video digitizer in a non-graphic context 
and some initialization code that's reading debug preferences is 
crashing down inside CFPreferences -- not sure if this is an Apple 
bug, but I'm pretty sure I know how to work around the problem.

(There's already code to prevent the video code from loading, but it 
looks like I need to add a check to the CFPrefrences code to load 
later)

If it's what I think it is, I'll try to get a fix up later tonight or 
tomorrow afternoon.
