Alsa and /etc/ in F7

Every time I suspend my laptop, I get the following from the
troubleshooter:

SELinux is preventing /sbin/alsactl (alsa_t) "write" to etc (etc_t).

The suggestion to restorecon /etc doesn't seem very sensible, and
doesn't change anything anyway (so the suggestion is that it's a policy
bug).
