Audio on Chromebooks

Hi Guix,

I'm trying to get audio working on my Chromebook again.  I've found
instructions for non-traditional distros, but they are brief and hard
to understand.

It seems I need to set up ucm2 configuration and enable some stuff
with modprobe.

* Download ucm2 configs
* Set ALSA_CONFIG_UCM2 to configs location
* Determine my hardware type
* Get the configs for my hardware type
* Use kernel-module-loader-service-type in system configuration
* Reconfigure the system

I'm lost with regards to determining my hardware type.  I relied on
the Python script to do that for me.

A while back, Efraim made some package definitions to help with my
problem, but the package chromebook-alsa-lib remains unavailable.
When I use "guix repl -L $chromebook" and try to import the module, it
seems to suceed, so I don't know what the issue is.

     caleb@miller ~/Projects/chromebook-guix$ guix repl -L .
