No it should be "sudo apt-get purge dragonplayer".
But the kubuntu-desktop package is depending on dragonplayer so if you
remove dragonplayer also kubuntu-desktop will  be removed.

The difference between purge and remove is that purge will also remove
configuration files while remove will leave them. But purge will only
remove the global config files, for most application there is also a
private config file in your home directory and that will not be
removed.
I haven't read this whole thread but if I got it right you got sound
in some programs and other not? In that case what programs work and
who don't?
