I use GuixSD. I patched my guix git repository just after they were 
published.

It works, or more precisly it can work:

- I have the following in my .bashrc:

export GST_PLUGIN_SYSTEM_PATH=$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/gstreamer-1.0
export GRL_PLUGIN_PATH=$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/grilo-0.2

- Also I installed several gstreamer packages.

I only tried to play mp3 and ogg. Ogg works. I did not try burning audio 
cds.
I will try later today or tomorrow.
