5.5. alsa-utils
Updated alsa-utils packages that fix one bug and add one enhancement are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
The alsa-utils packages provide command-line utilities for the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA).
Bug Fix
- BZ#674199
- Prior to this update, the alsactl tool tried to initialize all sound cards if the /etc/asound.state file was not present. As a consequence, SElinux could deny access to non-existent devices. This update modifies the underlying code so that alsactl is called only once from udev.
Enhancement
- BZ#650113
- With this update, the alsa-delay and alsaloop utilities have been added to alsa-utils to manage the system audio delay.
All users of alsa-utils are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug and add this enhancement.
