Pulseaudio. No pipewire. Pipewire makes problems.

No. Amarok and other apps works well.

Work all under 21.

I do a normal update. And then Kodi will also update. 
Normal.
Should I now control all packages and block some? I don't think this is the right way.
One possible could be to make an extra package for kodi20, kodi21 and so on.

. In addition you could enable debugging output in Kodi and have

Perhaps I will try.

Not a good comparison.

I guess I have no choice but to switch back to Flatpack.
But what I hate.

Or do you still have the old spec and other files, then I would build it myself again?
