Hi all,

Currently, quodlibet is unable to find a gstreamer audio sink when playing
audio unless the relevant gst-plugins is explicitly installed in your
profile. For me that's gst-plugins-good. Currently, existing packaged
applications such as Strawberry and Clementine explicitly set the
GST_PLUGIN_SYSTEM_PATH. I've adapted this for Quodlibet with my patch. I
suppose an alternative might be to include the gst plugins as
propagated-inputs but I'm not certain about that. I decided to just follow
the current practice.

Hope everything is right here. My first patch to guix.

Cheers,
Bassam

Pushed a different patch that essentially does the same.  Thanks for
pointing this out.
