A VERY long time ago, I had to read Faulkner's As I Lay Dying for a uni course. I hated it, but that's beside the point. There are lots of pov changes in that book which were indicated by font, mostly italics, alternating with normal when the pov changed.

I prefer your idea, it saves the reader wondering for the first few sentences from which pov the passage is written. There are plenty of books with very short chapters. I seem to remember Anne Rice's Interview With The Vampire having chapters only a few pages long. Something about brief chapters gives a book momentum, maybe because the reader thinks "just one more chapter, it's only a few pages," and the night ticks on, till dawn brings the realisation that they've been up all night reading your book.

Do what you think is right, but I see nothing wrong with short chapters, on the contrary, they have some advantages.
