Going to chime in here: While I don't like PulseAudio, it's a requirement for
working audio on the Novena which I plan to run GuixSD on. Something something
necessary evil. That said, if there's a big rebuild planned there is a
PulseAudio patch I needed to make for NixOS to get things working right. I'm
still tinkering with early boot issues in GuixSD so I'm not that far in the
stack to test it, but if anyone's curious I'll attach the NixOS patch here.
