Running ldconfig does not create the missing symlink.

Looking more closely I think I see that it's not mpv itself which links to libsrt.so.1, but stable ffmpeg. It appears testing ffmpeg links against libsrt.so.1.4, which is present in stable.

Here's the upstream change which got rid of libsrt.so.1:

Made SRT versioned SO named with major and minor #1741

And a thread on r/archlinux about it:

Applications linking against 'libsrt.so.1' no longer start

My thinking is that it's a synchronization issue between arch64 and arch32 stable: srt was upgraded but ffmpeg is not yet rebuilt.

I've installed ffmpeg from testing and can confirm it correctly links against libsrt.so.1.4:

$ ldd /usr/bin/ffmpeg | grep libsrt

libsrt.so.1.4 => /usr/lib/libsrt.so.1.4 (0xb4d52000)

mpv now loads successfully.
