Sun VirtualBox problem

I just upgraded to VirtualBox-2.0.2_36488_fedora9-1.i386 [not the OSE] and it wouldn't start.
The error message was

Failed to create the VirtualBox COM object.
The application will now terminate.
Callee RC: NS_ERROR_FACTORY_NOT_REGISTERED (0x80040154)


I don't know what it means, but probably looks like some interprocess communication issue.

Ahh ! I removed the [root owned, something I find very weird] directory /tmp/.vbox-prashant-ipc and vbox started very well; but now somehow it can not connect to the host sound.
