Isnt this related to whether the application needs to load the file into VM (on your HD) in order to play or open it? In any case having so little spare room on your disk will cause other problems and my guess is that you are not on X as this requires a lot - maybe 20% free space for VM and various other System functions to operate well. So my response to your predicament would have been to move things off of your HD in order to make room to operate freely. iTunes can burn mp3 direct to aiff - but I bet that it converts onto HD in the background as part of that process rather than decoding in ram - (I didn't test this though). In any case I wish you well with what you are doing. I ended up getting more disk space internal and external at points of scarcity of space.
