The file in questions is /etc/alsa/pcm/dmix.conf.

/etc/alsa/ainit.conf has:
#
# overwrite target files, if exists
#
overwrite = yes

#
# first config file - for dmix plugin
#
template_0 = /etc/alsa/pcm/dmix.template
target_0  = /etc/alsa/pcm/dmix.conf
target_root_file_0 = yes

This seems less than perfect to me....
Should dmix.conf (and dsnoop.conf) be someplace else? Labeled as
xdm_rw_etc_t? (I don't know who else needs to read these files....)

Do you have any idea if xdm is actually trying to write this file, or could this just be they used the wrong flags when opening the file?
