I was also having this same problem, but then after removing all 'libgst' files from the 'Songbird/lib' directory and removing the libvisual-0.4-plugins, I was getting;

(songbird-bin:3375): GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times

as an error under Terminal. But I managed to get Songbird to run by adding 'sudo -H' to the begining of my command (sudo -H Songbird/songbird).

Worked for me so I hope it helps someone!

Happy that I came across this one, did not try your trick as of yet..
I only want to add that my problems started after update of
gstreamers. and i was getting error that “lame 0″ cannot be loaded.
I will get back here with my results.

MediaFlow, NowPlaying, Lyrics and some skins. If libvisual and plugins removed, will other stuffs get affected? like visualization in Rhythmbox?
XBMC?
