[pulseaudio-discuss] PulseAudio does eat RAM with "lock-memory"

[Roman Beslik]

Hello.

The wiki page
http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/MemoryConsumption
reassures us that PulseAudio will not eat our RAM: PulseAudio allocates 
64 MiB of address space, but the big part of that address space is not 
assigned to RAM, therefore all is o'kay. However, if "lock-memory = yes" 
in "/etc/pulse/daemon.conf", than PulseAudio does eat RAM. Because no 
real-time process may have its address space unassigned (or assigned to 
a swap, BTW). If you agree, I will add real-time considerations to the 
wiki page.
