Hello,

yes, it was poorly maintained, but the normal reaction to a poorly
maintained package is filing an orphan request, in the hope that another
maintainer will do a better maintenance. Deletion requests normally
apply to badly maintained upstream projects (not the case here,
otherwise the stable version would not be in the repo), duplicates of
repo packages (debatable, maybe the difference to the stable release is
too small) or other AUR packages or no longer useful packages (not the
case here, otherwise the stable version would not be in the repo).

BTW in the meantime the soundconverter-git package has been updated and
at least works now.  

Best Regards

Stefan
