Is that the right thing even if you have multiple GStreamer versions
installed, I wonder? And why is GST_PLUGIN_PATH not sufficient and you
have to use GST_PLUGIN_SYSTEM_PATH?
Also, this line doesn't appear in my .guix-profile/etc/profile. Why is
that? In general I think having to rely on people to add lines to their
profile is a bad idea. Might be necessary, of course, but sounds like a
bad idea compared to just sourcing the profile file.

No real opinion, but some questions :) The experience installing
rhythmbox is pretty bad though.
