Just so that others do not have to repeat my check: ffmpeg fails to find
openal in the configure phase for i686:
ld: /tmp/guix-build-ffmpeg-6.1.1.drv-0/ffconf.FrPUM7mP/test.o: in function `check_alGetError':
test.c:(.text+0x1): undefined reference to `alGetError'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
check_lib openal AL/al.h alGetError -lopenal
check_func_headers AL/al.h alGetError -lopenal
test_ld cc -lopenal
test_cc
BEGIN /tmp/guix-build-ffmpeg-6.1.1.drv-0/ffconf.FrPUM7mP/test.c
    1   #include <AL/al.h>
    2   #include <stdint.h>
    3   long check_alGetError(void) { return (long) alGetError; }
    4   int main(void) { int ret = 0;
    5    ret |= ((intptr_t)check_alGetError) & 0xFFFF;
    6   return ret; }
END /tmp/guix-build-ffmpeg-6.1.1.drv-0/ffconf.FrPUM7mP/test.c

Openal is already at its latest version, updating ffmpeg to its latest
version 6.1.2 does not solve the problem.
