As of mpv 1:0.14.0-1 it supports an openal output plugin which is currently omitted by the arch package, the manual says it is slow on low end machines with multichannel audio but on my machine the cpu load changes over 1h average from 9.1% to 10.5% for a video having a 640kbps 5.1 AC3 stream between pulse module and openal making it feasible, the advantage is that it unique features other audio output plugins don't have such as hrtf 3d audio encoding.
adding it to the dependency array and passing --enable-openal to waf configure would suffice.
This task depends upon

Documentation says it is experimental, not very useful and playing multi-channel audio with it is slow.
By default it is disabled, even if found available on the system. I think it is not interesting for most users, so not enabling openal support.
