Dear Guix,

The emacs-tmr package does not play the alert sound for me. Instead, I see the following error in the message buffer:

Error running timer ‘tmr--complete’: (user-error "Cannot play /gnu/store/b91yva8kcx7zkdn9g1cz8n2943s0qnas-sound-theme-freedesktop-0.8/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/alarm-clock-elapsed.oga without ‘ffplay’")

There is an added patch-paths phase which seems to be trying to point ffplay to an absolute path. It just doesn't seem to matter.

I think I fixed the issue in commit
28c2c570f80cc0b4e7302ad11cccc8ad600b3274.

I'm closing the bug report. Feel free to re-open it if it still doesn't
work.
