The LSM should not be affecting this in any way.  

More likely, you're logging in differently and the applications are
starting with different values of $HOME in their environment.  On most
distributions /root is the home directory of the superuser.  You
really don't want to be using that for audio data.  

It matters whether you log in as `root' or as yourself.  You should
generally log in as `mknecht', and use `sudo' to run individual
commands requiring root privileges.
