Description Albert Strasheim 2004-04-07 18:56:13 UTC

Description of problem:
Playing MP3s (using a third party xmms-mp3 RPM) works fine as root
(i.e. you can hear the MP3).

When trying to play MP3s as a normal user with the ALSA output plugin
selected, XMMS outputs the following message to stdout:

** WARNING **: alsa_setup(): Failed to open pcm device (default):
Permission denied

Similar warnings are displayed for other output plugins, such as for OSS:

** WARNING **: oss_open(): Failed to open audio device (/dev/dsp):
Permission denied


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
policy-1.9.2-12 xmms-1.2.10-2.p

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start xmms as normal user
2. Play sound
    

Actual Results:  xmms is unable to play the sound because of
permissions problems

Expected Results:  xmms should play sounds when run by a normal user

Additional info:

No policy warnings appear in /var/log/messages. xmms still doesn't
work with setenforce 0.

Maybe this is not a policy problem?

Could you relabel the /dev/ directory.  I beliece we have a problem
with the latest udev rewriting files on /dev and loosing the file context.

setfiles /etc/security/selinux/file_contexts /dev

We have a bug report in on udev.

What's the status on this one? Did the relabeling of /dev solved your
issues?
