FIXED - see last post
Kernel 5.5.12 released 25-mar-2020 seems to have significant problems for MPlayer.
The 5.5.12 changelog does seem to have a lot of sound changes mentioned....

There seem to be an eternal sound problem in many Puppy versions up through the years. Are these issues real kernel problems, or are they limited to Puppy builds? Do you know if other distros using the same kernels, experience the same problems?
True freedom is a live Puppy on a multisession CD/DVD.
Using strace from devx shows that MPlayer is looping:
write(2, "[AO OSS] Can't set audio device "..., 74) = 74
ioctl(4, SNDCTL_DSP_SETFMT, 0xffda03f0) = -1 ENXIO (No such device or address)
Anybody know what this might mean?

CLOSED - FIXED
OK - can be fixed by configuring MPlayer to use alsa...
Put:
ao=alsa
into ~/.mplayer/config

The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

Just curious, does apulse still work after the ao=alsa setting?
What if ao=apulse?
Sorry, running older stuff w/o apulse, but got to thinking after your revelation.
