bug#28393: Sound output broken in Audacity

[Florian Paul Schmidt]

Hi,

what ALSA pcm device have you configured Audacity to use? From the log 
it looks like it tries to use some pcm devices that are commonly 
configured in a global alsa.conf (on ubuntu for example in 
/usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf (.d). Possibly you do not have these global 
definitions available?

Does using "hw:0,0" work if set as pcm device in the audacity config?

Regards,
Flo

P.S.: I'm not using guix ATM, so I have no idea on where the guix ALSA 
packages would store global configs, etc..
