After my machine has been up and running for about 6 days, all of my 256
megs of ram are used up as cache minus about 2 megs or so, and none of the
256 megs of swap are used. The only problem is when I try to play sounds,
I get "Could not allocate dma buffer". After a reboot, it works fine.
How can I go about freeing up the cache? I assume whatever is in charge
of allocating the dma buffer doesn't, or can't use the cache that's not
really in use. How can I talk it into doing so? Thanks in advance.
