MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for adplug-mame [2]:

Seems this adplug (AdLib sound plugin) fork based on adplug v2.2.1
from 2010 has been discontinued.

The patch was hosted on a personal kind of game archival site and
is already gone (404). No other sources seem to be available.

The main AdPlug has previously also used some codec/emulator library
extracted from MAME, but since that time, they've developed their own
internal substitute which is much better. [a]

Therefore I conclude that this lost-source, 2010 version of
adplug is not needed and can be safely deleted from AUR.
(Also, nothing depends specfically on this package.)
