Description:
In the PKGBUILD for the scummvm package, the argument --disable-fluidsynth argument is called. This is is unnecessary.

The PKGBUILD should be updated to depend on fluidsynth, and the line --disable-fluidsynth removed.

Furthermore, the PKGBUILD calls --disable-debug. This should not be done at all. ScummVM does have bugs and is actively developed.

I've attached a corrected PKGBUILD.

I've installed ScummVM with Fluidsynth support, it works. I'm sat here listening to the Monkey Island 2 theme with Fluidsynth and a fantastic soundfont. With OSS, even! Why on Earth it was disabled in the first place is beyond me.

Additional info:
* scummvm 1.0.0-1

Steps to reproduce:
Just look at the PKGBUILD
   PKGBUILD (1.1 KiB)
This task depends upon

+1 for Fluidsynth (just anonther dependency in [extra])
-1 for --enable-debug (we don't provide binaries with debug symbols and we strip binaries to use less space)

I have just opened ticket #18572. It is a request for an rc script for fluidsynth, so you can use it as a replacement for timidity++. You can a PKGBUILD there.

To make scummvm work with either timidity++ or fluidsynth, make sure either is running.
Then open ~/.scummvmrc and make sure there is no soundfont= entry.

Add the following to the [scummvm] section:

music_driver=alsa
alsa_port=128:0

Scummvm should now be using your fancy soundfont through timidity++ or fluidsynth
