This is something I just found when searching the /var/log/message file
but this is not related to ALSA, but to rhgb:
Jan 7 13:11:44 localhost kernel: audit(1199740241.970:9): avc: denied { read write }
for pid=1775 comm="consoletype" path="/dev/pts/0" dev=devpts ino=2
scontext=system_u:system_r:consoletype_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:rhgb_devpts_t:s0
tclass=chr_file
As for ALSA issues, there was a problem writing to /etc/asound.state and to ~/.asoundrc
but this is not recorded where I can find it. It only happens during logoff/shutdown
and I see it very briefly and it appears to be an 'alsactl store' command failure
and
*maybe* the log below is related to it but I cannot confirm it.
Jan 8 12:28:30 gold kernel: audit(1199823854.622:4): avc: denied { getattr } for
pid=1264 comm="salsa" path="/usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf" dev=sda5
ino=147458 scontext=system_u:system_r:alsa_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
tcontext=system_u:object_r:usr_t:s0 tclass=file
I DO know that alsactl is not able to set the volume control settings for which
I am forced to reset every time at login after a boot. There was some months
ago that Daniel Walsh wrote as a bug report in getting the /etc/asound.state
moved to /var/lib directory and it was written on Sept 17, 2007.
