Thanks, I do provides=('perl-audio-nama') for both nama and nama-git.

The sloppy part was at least not putting any packager/maintainer info into it,
but it wasn't me, cpan2aur did the job :P

I just tried that:
~/build/mine/perl-audio-ecasound $ cpan2aur --check .
==> Checking if . is up to date...
-> Looking up module for Audio-Ecasound on CPAN...

Success.
I'm not sure what it did there, whether it updated or not (it did upload
something, so I guess it updated?

Thanks for advice.
