You can at least uninstall the following packages (+ a bunch of other
packages depended on by them).
libasound2-plugins
libavcodec-ffmpeg56
libavresample-ffmpeg2
libavutil-ffmpeg54
libswscale-ffmpeg3
libvdpau-va-gl1
vdpau-driver-all

However, libasound2 has to be installed. And I fail to see a reason to
change that.

Indeed, and in this case except for wine-development they don't even
have the same packages.

But you know that you can alternatively install
[amd|nvidia|ocl-icd]-libopencl1?

Does this solve the problems for you?
