More 'sigh':
Booting in permissive mode now produces:
Oct 9 07:08:33 localhost kernel: audit(1191938899.844:3): avc:
denied { read } for pid=1553 comm="alsactl" name="asound.state"
dev=dm-0 ino=11076536 scontext=system_u:system_r:udev_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
tcontext=system_u:object_r:alsa_etc_rw_t:s0 tclass=file

denied { getattr } for pid=1553 comm="alsactl"
path="/etc/alsa/asound.state" dev=dm-0 ino=11076536

Not 100% sure why this now is reported against alsactl (instead of
salsa); and shouldn't alsactl be running in 'alsa_t'?
I did make one change to 90-alsa.rules: I changed 'RUN+="/sbin/salsa"'
to RUN+="/sbin/salsa -l" on both ControlC* and pcm* lines. Not sure if
that 'broke something'.
