yep this is the nonsense 'ping' method invented by the xscreensaver author.
we've decided to refuse to support his broken brain bug.

anyway i disagree it's 55msec, it's longer unless you have an ideal system.
and anyway 55msec is loger than a frame time (33/40ms) so it will stop video
a bit every minute.

if you have to solve the fd problem, just killall -STOP xscreensaver.
