<div><br></div><div>Trying to do anything with multimedia of any kind, SELinux always gets in the way. I'm sure it's wonderful for a totally locked down multiuser system where everybody is logged in via a terminal and editing in vi... but for a single-user desktop where you're basically accessing devices, memory, or processes that you're in control of, it's truly a pain. </div>
