5.5. alsa-utils 5.5.1. RHBA-2012:0917 - alsa-utils bug fix and enhancement update 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.
