xboard package needs to be explicitly dependent on alsa-utils, since it
uses the `aplay' utility to play sounds. I think this maybe wasn't
noticed before because alsa-utils used to be a common part of the
desktop environment.

Hello Christopher,

Thank you reporting this!

This patch should fix this: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/48158

I'm not sure if we should also patch paths to other programs like
engines (gnuchess, fruit, crafty) and polyglot though.
(Only gnuchess is packaged currently).
