Good catch, thanks for reporting! We don't really have anyone on the team actively testing edge cases on Arch. The current plan is to support multiple backends and add their respective packages as optional dependencies.

I think pipewire-alsa is missing from the dependencies. Without it, Sonora fails to open the audio output:

$ sonora
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1000:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) [error.pcm] unable to open slave
[ERROR music::youtube::playback] playback: cannot open audio output: cannot read the output config: The requested device is no longer available. For example, it has been unplugged.

Installing pipewire-alsa fixes the issue.

Also, it would be cool if you could make it possible to unbundle sqlite

@nolight Hi, I just updated your package making it build from source. I hope you don't mind.

As you might know, binary packages without the "-bin" suffix are only allowed if the application cannot be built from source.

If you still want to provide a PKGBUILD for the prebuilt release binaries, please upload a new package named "sonora-bin".

PS: The app looks cool, thanks for making it!
