[Haskell-beginners] Is all Haskell syntax pointfree compatible?

After reading the Haskell wiki article about pointfree style I naturally
started playing around with with converting my regular code to
pointfree. However, I immediately got stuck on the specific cases of 1)
do syntax and 2) record syntax. For example:

code:
--------
playMusic rt =
  do [source] <- genObjectNames 1
     buffer source $= getSound rt "music.wav"
     sourceGain source $= 0.4
     loopingMode source $= Looping
     play [source]
--------

And another (contrived) example:

code:
--------
data A = A { u :: Int
           , v :: Double
           , w :: String
           , ...
           }

f a b = a { v = b }
--------
