Message during update: -> Packages not in AUR: libsidplay

I just did an update with yay, at the end after installing some packages came the following message:

:: Paketdatenbanken werden synchronisiert …
endeavouros ist aktuell
core ist aktuell
extra ist aktuell
multilib ist aktuell
:: Durchsuche AUR nach Updates...
:: Durchsuche Datenbanken nach Updates...
-> Pakete nicht im AUR: libsidplay
es gibt nichts zu tun

The fact that there is nothing to do is pleasing, but the message is still concerning for me, as I have never consciously installed libsidplay. I am leaning towards uninstalling it, what do you think?

Yes, I would remove it if nothing critical to you depends on it.

Usually that means it was once the dependency of another package. When it says not in AUR, it really means that it is not in AUR or the repos. The package could have come from the repos at some point in the past.

libsidplay (sidplay) used to be a dependency of gstreamer, but it was just removed:
