Guix seems to have some unique difficulties with `startx', which I
don’t fully understand, but I’ve seen several folks in #guix
struggling with it. I use the default gdm display manager.

I’ve never had to do anything special, I log in, there’s sound.
EMMS has a facility to control the volume, which I use. If I need
more advanced sound stuff, I use pavucontrol.

You can use the emacs-blight package (which I’m the author of) for
this. You’ll need to add your user to the `video' group.

I’m not sure what the package list is for this, but I think the
question is kind of vague. I recommend installing the packages
you want to use -- a complete installation will just waste disk
space if you’re not using everything.
