Ha! I didn't know that (or I forgot)!

You should check inside CONFIG_SND. See if the kernel configuration is 
identical with the old kernel and this one.

Also with mplayer what audio output you're using?

Then this maybe a libmad problem, how about playing some audio/video 
with wav/PCM audio?

Also has the video strutting stopped when you use alsa output?
