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.

Greetings,
Maxime.
