That certainly seems high to me. On my system I see values like
- pipewire: resident memory ~18M, shared memory ~8M
- pipewire-pulse: redident memory ~19M, shared memory ~6M
even while playing audio from firefox, for example.
Where did you get those RSS values?
I checked in gnome-system-monitor and with ps -aux, and both reported
the same values for resident memory (RSS).
I used htop. But 'ps -o user,pid,vsz,rss,share,command' gives similar
numbers.
