I still get the error with:
guix environment gstreamer gst-plugins-base gst-plugins-bad gst-plugins-good gst-plugins-ugly gst123 -- gst123 '/path/to/file.mp3'
Following Leo's advice, I also ran:
guix environment strace gstreamer gst-plugins-base gst-plugins-bad
gst-plugins-good gst-plugins-ugly gst123 -- strace -f gst123
'/path/to/file.mp3'
There were 3403 lines of output, which seems bigger than the Debian
pastebin will let me show, so I'm not sure how to share the whole
thing.
However, here is a list of references to the store in the output
produced with:
: cat $STRACEF_OUTPUT | grep -i -o '"/gnu/store/.*"' | uniq
The last lines of output from strace -f looked like:
ioctl(1, TCGETS, 0x7ffff8747000) = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl for device)

Let me know if there is something else I could be looking for.
For now I'm resigned to just using mpg123 for mp3's instead which works
perfectly fine.
