What about implementing a semi-dynamic buffer system (no malloc() though, as I understand rb doesn't have this available)? Admittedly I don't do dev work on Rockbox (so take my ideas with a very big grain of salt), but wouldn't allowing each plugin to specify how much buffer it needs help this? Then you could run as many plugins simultaneously as you had room for in ram... and if you try to start one when there isn't enough ram left, present a menu of running plugins and ask which one to kill.
