  Perhaps - I have 3 GiB - however allocating memory should only happen
if its needed for something - a few audio buffers would shock me if it
needed to be more than a few 10's of MiB. 400 sounds insane to me the
more I think about it.

  Since the author of pulse follows this list - could you please tell us
what you think is reasonable mem usage for the audio daemon? Is 1/2 a
terrabyte sound reasonable to you ?
