I confirm that the only oops I got was with 2.6.17-rc1

I don't care: I have changed my player.
I also tend to agree that opening /dev/dsp read write was not a good
idea, so I would not criticise the new behaviour.

Each version of Linux 2.6 tend to break some softwares due to subtil
changes. What is bad is that these changes tend to be not announced,
but on the other hand the kernel mailing list is very responsive,
so all in all it might be a reasonable way to go.
