Some cycles: (gnu packages pulseaudio) -> (gnu packages audio) -> (gnu packages gtk) /(gnu packages qt)-> (gnu packages pulseaudio) + the world (gnu packages pulseaudio) -> (gnu packages audio) -> (gnu packages webkit) -> (gnu packages gstreamer) + the world -> (gnu packages pulseaudio) + the world Suggested cut: audio libraries like flac, libogg, libvorbis, opus, wildmidi, vo-aacenc, tinyalsa ... can go in (gnu packages audio), other things go somewhere else, especially if they need expensive imports.
