We only unbundle software in Guix, but  I've added youtube-dl as 
an input and patched youtube-viewer to use it in 
58637415bedb8a91d916ab6ed6f318f7b7023c00.

I can now successfully play ‘Dmitri Shostakovich -  Waltz No. 2 
(by TheWickedNorth)’ which failed to play before.

Could you confirm whether this solves your problem?

Kind regards,

T G-R
