Do you have nixpkgs.config.pulseaudio enabled? This should then be fixed by c9bcec2e880897505dae6972bc32f8f3cfe2d3d7.

Do you have nixpkgs.config.pulseaudio enabled?

Yes.

I wanted to wait until I could test if this worked before posting a comment, but somehow this time chromium-browser had to be built locally instead of using the cached one from hydra, and it's been going for 6 hours now. Looks like I got past the gst-plugins package though; thank you for your suggestion.

related, a packageOverride on xfce.xfce4mixer doesnt have any impact on xfce panel, i need to override each thing that depends on mixer

@cleverca22: I suspect that's caused by https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/18316.
