i was looking the manuals and on this page:http://www.64studio.com/manual/audio/jack i found about hoq to enable tmpfs, adding "tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0" to the "fstab" now, i only have 512MB of RAM. does it make sense to enable tmpfs with small amount of ram?

Your RAM is a bit on the low side for serious multimedia work. I have 2G and since I upgraded from 1G I see a marked improvement in performance, and my system now rarely needs to swap. I am considering getting 4G soon to improve linuxsampler performance.
