the author has added this to AUR but it is not actually compiling

Joël (the author) has packaged a custom version of the 'libinstapatch' dependency for AUR - 'libinstapatch' is a package in parabola already as a dep of the 'swami' suite - it seems to be exactly the same version (1.0.0) and 'gsequencer' builds against it with no problem - the only difference i noticed is that the upstream pkgconfig file has 'audiofile' as a dep and Joël's has 'sndfile' in it's place - to allow the build to succeed for this initial package, i entered the build chroot and manually editied the 'libinstapatch' .pc file to require the 'gsequencer' dep 'sndfile' - some attention will be needed to allow both 'gsequencer' and 'swami' to share the 'libinstapatch' dependency

the install phase fails unless `autoreconf -ifv` is run prior to the build

the install phase then shows many warnings perhaps harmless - do you think these could be a problem?

<Joël>: I am unsure about this but *.la should not be installed, anyway.

the latest upstream git source also requires 'sndfile' rather than 'audiofile' - it is several years ahead of the latest release - perhaps the best thing to do here is to drop 'swami' and 'libinstapatch' and introduce 'swami-git' and 'libinstapatch-git' so that both 'swami' and 'gsequencer' can share the same 'libinstapatch' dep
