Peek crashes unless run as root

System Information

• Peek version: 1.5.1
• Additional info if applicable: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS

Describe the bug
Peek crashes unless run as root

To Reproduce

1. Run peek from a terminal
2. Press the record button
3. At the end of the timer, peek crashes and the following is shown in the terminal:

Using screen recorder backend gnome-shell
[1]    368383 segmentation fault (core dumped)  peek

Do the same, but this time run sudo peek instead of peek

You now see the following line in the terminal, and peek doesn't crash anymore:

Using screen recorder backend ffmpeg

Expected behavior
Peek should not crash when run as non-root user...

I found out that peek -b ffmpeg works.

Is there a way to configure the default backend ?

Same problem, and same question!
