Synopsis
alsa-utils bug fix and enhancement update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated alsa-utils packages that fix one bug and add one enhancement are now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The alsa-utils packages provide command-line utilities for the Advanced Linux
Sound Architecture (ALSA).
This update fixes the following bug:
- 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. (BZ#674199)
This update also adds the following enhancement:
- With this update, the alsa-delay and alsaloop utilities have been added to
alsa-utils to manage the system audio delay. (BZ#650113)
All users of alsa-utils are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
fix this bug and add this enhancement.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant
to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
Hat Network to apply this update are available at
