lfam pointed out that this has already been done in 46067, which is now
in core-updates awaiting merging into master:

https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=46067

For the time being, we've also copied the updated libsndfile into
MediaGoblin's guix-env.scm.

We now have a local copy of python-soundfile in MediaGoblin's
guix-env.scm which is passing all audio tests. Yay!

Discovered we'll also need to upgrade Guix's python-wtforms, but in the
mean time, installing only wtforms, pytest, pytest-xdist, pytest-forked
from PyPI allows us to pass the test suite 100% Getting closer!

I learnt that Celery has a Redis backend, so maybe we don't need to
rewrite just yet.
