That wouldn't really be very helpful. Say you check and find that the
system has 16M of real RAM free. You malloc() all 16M. Then, 6
microseconds later, another program malloc()s 8M. Something's going to
swap.

I'm still a little confused as to why everyone splits a tyStream into
separate a/v files and then merges them back. It seems to only
introduce sync problems. Granted, I've only done a couple shows, but
using TyConvert (on Win32) seems to work well for me... just need to
use PowerDVD to watch.
