Hi,

I don=E2=80=99t know about the specifics of audio applications.  However, in
general, it should hopefully be relatively simple to provide distro
configurations tailored to specific needs=E2=80=93like the =E2=80=9Cmedia p=
roduction=E2=80=9D
distro you have in mind, things like TAILS, etc.

Ideally, it would boil down to preparing a custom =E2=80=98operating-system=
=E2=80=99
declaration=E2=80=93with all the services and packages of interest ready to
use=E2=80=93that users would inherit from to further customize things.

At this point the Guix System Distribution is still very much for
hackers rather than newcomers, but I would love to see projects like
this one grow.

Thanks for your interest.

Ludo=E2=80=99.
