Summary: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/pulseaudio "read" access on /dev/snd/controlC0. 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://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug report.

I was trying to play firefox/flash video, not in sandbox. there was another bug that stopped write access, that i am not reporting separately. I have been getting many similar bugs when using sandbox -X which I reported in bug #560186.
Miroslav I think we need to add dev_write_sound(sandbox_web_client_t) dev_read_sound(sandbox_web_client_t)
