Indeed, I have. A package definition can be found at my repository[0], 
currently most things seem to be working, but I get this error while doing 
`guix package --install-from-file=audio.scm`:

#+begin_src shell

I’ve attached the build logs, let me know if you have an idee about what’s 
failing and maybe test the package definition yourself.

Also, do I need to take the discussion of this package in a separate thread?
