Hmm, is it all codecs? In that case, I'd suggest making a smaller (gnu
packages audio-codecs), that can be used by (gnu packages audio-
systems) [including (tiny)alsa, pulseaudio, jack, ...] that can be used
by the rest of the world. Having that, we could move "the rest" into
audio-xyz (or let it simply remain "audio"). Would that be actionable?
(Note: There might still be debate w.r.t. the above split when
considering synthesizers, as they are technically not codecs, but we
still need to distinguish between low-level synths like fluidsynth and
wildmidi vs. full-on sound stations.)
(Note2: Of course, this assumes that neither audio-codecs nor audio-
systems will ever need to import any of the rust stuff. *sigh*)
