I'm not 100% sure but I don't think so.
The function snd_config_hooks_call() is from alsa-lib I can't find any
way in alsa-lib for it work in this case, even though it aims to work by
default on systems with plugins in '/usr/lib/alsa-lib' or similar.
The lookup is performed in alsa-lib's 'src/dlmisc.c', by the function
snd_dlopen(), and it only looks in the hard-coded path provided by the
ALSA_PLUGIN_DIR C object macro, which ends up being alsa-lib's own store
directory.

Is that on Guix System or another distro? On Guix System, this is
handled by the service alsa-service-type.
On Debian, using mpg123 from Guix, and with your ~/.asoundrc, it fails
in the same way as Audacity:
