Configure low-level Linux sound support, ALSA.
avahi gnu/services/avahi.scm:145:4 Run
`avahi-daemon', a host and service discovery daemon that implements

Additionally, extend the C library's name service switch (NSS) with
support for `.local' host name resolution.

bash-4.4# aplay -l
bash: aplay: command not found
bash-4.4# find / -name aplay
/gnu/store/04g77pl6i6b8adj7pr1kbsz0qjar021z-alsa-utils-1.1.8/bin/aplay
find: ‘/run/user/1000/gvfs’: Permission denied
bash-4.4#
The card is visible here:
bash-4.4# lspci -nnk
