This not only affects syncplay. Many other dependencies are broken as well. Freecad for instance does not build either.

looks like updating pyside2 to 5.12.6 fixed this issue on my fork: https://github.com/ashkitten/nixpkgs/commit/9ad580585cea1e706fc2b7cb0e0d775b5982bca5

@ashkitten Your fix looks good to me. Could you PR it?
