That sounds an awful lot like the Android kernel's pmem implementation.
Solving this problem is important for us as well, but, I'm not sure I
see a better solution that something like Felipe suggests.
The disadvantage, of course, being that the memory isn't available for
the system when the user isn't doing the multi-media.
