Public bug reported: With the recent updates to the snap policy module, recording access is denied to clients with a snap AppArmor label when that snap doesn't have a connected plug for "pulseaudio" or "audio-record".
This is not appropriate for classic confinement snaps, which will have an AppArmor label but should still have access to recording even when there is no plug, as described by @jdstrand: https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/pulseaudio-recording/6361/14?u=jamesh This is broken with the 1:12.2-0ubuntu2 release, as can be seen with e.g.: $ aa-exec -p snap.skype.skype /usr/bin/parecord foo.wav Stream error: Access denied [note that the Skype app itself still functions because it bypasses PulseAudio all together] The above command should result in audio being recorded from the microphone. ** Affects: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Importance: High Assignee: James Henstridge (jamesh) Status: Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1787324 Title: Snap policy module denies recording access to classic snaps Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: With the recent updates to the snap policy module, recording access is denied to clients with a snap AppArmor label when that snap doesn't have a connected plug for "pulseaudio" or "audio-record".
