Is "audio.scm" the right place for this package?  BTW there is
"audacity.scm"; shouldn't 'audacity' package be moved to "audio.scm" as
well?

I would say “audio.scm” is the right place.  ‘audacity’ was placed in
its own module to avoid dependency cycles, if I recall correctly.

(While we are talking about moving stuff, I suggest moving packages from
‘pulseaudio.scm’ to just ‘audio.scm’.)
