the package in extra does not yet have eawpatches enabled! you have to use a soundfont for it. i didn't yet put eawpatches inside

I just uploaded a PKGBUILD for xrmap (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?do_Details=1&ID=5928) to AUR/unsupported and I realized afterwards that the MIDI files included in the package (national anthems of 208 countries) cannot be played with timidity++ from extra, as they require the eawpatches... I know next to nothing about MIDI and soundfonts (though the analogy to typography seems pretty obvious), so I'll just leave it at that, in the hope a future update will fix that.
The thread http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=4905&highlight=eawpatches seems to describe how to modify the PKGBUILD in order to include the eawpatches, but I haven't tried it.

Just an idea: perhaps one could have a separate package (as Gentoo) for timidity-eawpatches?

Well, I had a few minutes to kill, so I wrote a PKGBUILD and install script for a timidity-eawpatches package myself.
It is here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?do_Details=1&ID=5934
Sorry for being verbose today.
Enjoy.
