Mplayer might be resampling on the fly and when done inefficiently...it might raise your load .
See what "top" or any other CPU watch program says. (ksysguard)

There was an option to mplayer to resample to whatever format the soundcard accepts. (my oss-driver for i810 doesn't like all sample rates, so there was this option. I think something like "-aop list=format"
But don't trust it. It makes my mplayer crash at the moment.

Maybe somebody else knows that option (it's not in the --help)

aaha, found it : man mplayer helps
try some more "-aop list=resample" or something like this.

did you try "modprobe" instead of "insmod"?

Just some short-sighted guesses.

cheers,tobias.
