(Qt is horrible about this) Enabling core dumps or running under a debugger might shed some light on what’s going on.  If that doesn’t work easily then check the project documentation to see if they have a special debugging workflow.  Some game engines require a very specific debugging setup for the output to make any sense.

One thing I notice that is different about Artur's setup and mine is that pulseaudio doesn't show up in his ldd output.

I am just configuring a desktop without pulseaudio and see if that works any better. I think pulseaudio is worthwhile but I'll try without it and see how it goes.
