gaim and app-armor

For several days I've been having a problem with the instant messenger gaim not producing sounds. When I attempted to execute aplay, or to look at the sound folders, I got a "permission denied" message. Finally, thanks to a google search, I discovered the cause: Novell AppArmor was blocking the necessary access. For the time being I've disabled AppArmor, but I'm wondering if there's a way to disable it selectively. Paul
