It turns out that ALSA (when using mplayer to play a divx video file via OSS emulation) is rapidly sending back-to-back SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_STOP and SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_START commands. Why would it do that?
To recover from underruns.
I typically get the STOP command just milliseconds before the period ends. ALSA is pretty impatient! How does ALSA (in OSS emulation mode) know that an underrun has occurred?
There shouldn't be any difference, but maybe the buffer size of the driver has changed. Could you show the output of mplayer with the "-v" option for both kernels?
Unfortunately, I can't seem to get the original kernel to work now, so it's broken on all kernels. Anywhere, here's the mplayer output on out 2.6.23-based kernel:
