Hi again. <br><br>While fixing a dosbox sound issue while playing Doom, I discovered the trick! In my case I was using libsdl1.2debian-alsa and had to switch over to OSS. The package deps are linked, that installing one (-all, -alsa, -oss) will remove the currently installed one for you.<br>
<br><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">apt-get install libsdl1.2debian-all</span><br><br>That will install -all and prompt to remove your current OSS package, without removing all linked apps. <br><br>Funny thing is, after I switched to OSS, Kdenlive's audio works too! <br>

<br><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">dpkg --force-help</span> also gives the manpage summary of the force options, it seems like a pretty vast section of package manager, i havent tried any of them just yet.<br>
<br>dpkg also has a <span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">--simulate</span> option which could be useful here ;)<br><br><br></div></div>
