There appears to be a "common" problem with all programs which will prompt for 
root's password.  I reported this against system-config-soundcard but this is 
likely to be really against pam or something --

If you run these programs from a command line terminal, you get:

Could not set exec context to user_u:sysadm_r:sysadm_t.

This only occurs if you try to run the programs from a regular user.  If you 
run them from root or a user defined with a admin role, then it works OK.
