Comment(by lennart):

 How exactly are you measuring memory consumption? Note that mesuring
 memory consumption on Linux is a science of its own. Neither ps, not
 gnome-system-monitor are suitable tools to figure out memory consumption.
 Please read up on proper ways to determine memory use on Linux and report
 back if you can provide better numbers.

 Note that PA allocates a lot of address space on startup which is only
 backed by memory on-demand. Also note that PA keeps a cache of event
 sounds, which is empty on startup, but filled as you trigger event sounds.
