Audacity dependencies

Hello! Audacity has no all audio devices to work with. I need manually install by non-root user `guix package -i alsa-plugins alsa-utils`. Only after that all menu entries appear and I can choose 'sysdefault', 'sysdefault' and hear sound from audacity.
But after non-root user runs `guix pull`, `guix package -u` I have to install alsa-plugins and apla-utils again for work with audacity.
The second is that audacity does not play sound in any device I choose if any other program plays sound right now. That was not on trisquel, for example. I do not know how to fix it.
The third is that audacity can not find files in directory of a project. So I think it is a small bug in audio.scm. https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/audio.scm
I have the default alsa + pulseaudio, without any changes in my config.scm
Please, let me know if it is possible to correct.

Audacity works fine by me.
I use PulseAudio and I have alsa-utils installed (although I don't think it's
required).

If you start Audacity from a shell, is there valuable output you can read there?

I also just noticed that Audacity has a `--test` flag for self-diagnosis.  Maybe
you could try

  audacity --test

and see if you can learn anything relevant.
