From the pygame-users mailing list, I see that the output to

python -m pygame.examples.midi --list

should have been something like

0: interface :ALSA:, name :Midi Through Port-0:, opened :0: (output)
1: interface :ALSA:, name :Midi Through Port-0:, opened :0: (input)
2: interface :ALSA:, name :TiMidity port 0:, opened :0: (output)
3: interface :ALSA:, name :TiMidity port 1:, opened :0: (output)
4: interface :ALSA:, name :TiMidity port 2:, opened :0: (output)
5: interface :ALSA:, name :TiMidity port 3:, opened :0: (output)

It looks like missing (make)depends:

PORTMIDI: not found
PORTTIME: not found


PORTMIDI -> http://portmedia.sourceforge.net/

Jagadish: you need to install portmidi from AUR and rebuild python-pygame. I'm not sure if it's whorthwhile adding portmidi support to the python-pygame in extra as, in the case reported here, it's only needed for the examples.
