Hej,

I've taken the time to build the dependencies output by `./pre-inst-env guix 
refresh -L
$PKG` (where $PKG was one of `hidapi` and `soundtouch`).  This was my process:

1) I created a new branch to which I applied the three patches sent in over 
here.
Unexperienced working with git branches, I compared if, when in `master`, 
mixxx-2.3.6 gets
build, while in my testing branch `mixxx-update`, mixxx-2.4.1. gets built, to 
see how the
`mixxx-update` branch was affected by those patches while `master` isn't.

2) I created a union of the output of `./pre-inst-env guix refresh -L` for 
`hidapi` and
`soundtouch`.

3) I mass-built the dependencies using a `for`-loop within `guix shell -CPW` 
and with
`./pre-inst-env`, also these lines:
for pkg in LONG-PKG-LIST; do ./pre-inst-env guix build $PKG; done

4) I checked for built failures.

5) In case of build failures, I switched to the `master` branch, to check if 
building
overe there is successful.

Of the 246 dependencies in LONG-PKG-LIST, 233 built successfully.  Most of the 
failures
also failed on the `master`-branch, while some dependencies were discarded as 
"unknown
package".  Find the list of packages where the build failed below:
  - gnome-meta-core-utilities (unknown package)
  - gnome-essential-extras (unknown package)
  - gnome-meta-core-shell (unknown package)
  - ledger-agent (also fails on master)
  - giara (also fails on master)
  - sequeler (also fails on master)
  - eog-plugins (also fails on master)
  - nomad (also fails on master)
  - chatty (also fails on master)
  - memphis (also fails on master)
  - emacsy (also fails on master)
  - dvdstyler (also fails on master)
  - mate (also fails on master)

How to proceed?

Have a good day :)
