The soundfonts that fail to load are not even close to the 128MB default (at least in file size), e.g.
~30MB file fails to load, seems to load partially since some DRAM memory is lost in the process.
$ asfxload -M
DRAM memory left = 131068 kB
$ asfxload ./soundfont.SF2
sfxload: no memory left
$ asfxload -M
DRAM memory left = 114902 kB
$ ls -l ./soundfont.SF2

As mentioned in the original ticket and the first comment (https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ awesfx/ +bug/183456/ comments/ 1) changing max_buffer_size does not help.

This is still relevant in Ubuntu 10.10.
