pulseaudio, policykit - works in permissive, fails in enforcing

[Tom London]

Running latest Rawhide.

I've noticed the following problem that I cannot track down fully.

Pulseaudio seems to have stopped working when in enforcing mode,
unless I manually change the permissions to the numerous /dev/ files
to 666 (e.g., /dev/*dsp*, /dev/audio* /dev/snd/*, ....)

I get no AVCs.  Below are snippets from /var/log/messages.

My (simpleminded) interpretation is that in permissive mode, policykit
is running but not when in enforcing.

Any suggestions on how to track this down further?
