Description Dawid Zamirski 2013-04-12 20:16:28 UTC
Description of problem:
Created a Windows 7 VM using Virt Manager from existing OS image.
SELinux is preventing alsactl from using the 'signal' accesses on a process.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that alsactl should be allowed signal access on processes labeled alsa_t by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# grep alsactl /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp
