Summary: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/pulseaudio "execute" access on /usr/bin/pulseaudio. Detailed Description: [SELinux is in permissive mode. This access was not denied.] SELinux denied access requested by pulseaudio. It is not expected that this access is required by pulseaudio and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is causing it to require additional access. Allowing Access: You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ (http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug report.

I thought we had stopped svirt from using pulseaudio? Are you running with libvirt or starting this directly?

Closing this bug as WORKSFORME, general usage shouldn't be triggering this, and it seems like the user hadn't updated between reports. Douglas, if you are still hitting this, please reopen and provide 'virsh dumpxml $vmname' for the affected VM.
