There do seem to be some limiting factors. I did try putting a headless audio machine together on an older machine (P 300). The CPU seems to be up to it, but my memory of 196M will not properly run jackd (pulse runs fine) so there are some minimum requirements for some things. It may be best to stay with ALSA for I/O as pulse tends to dropouts. I have been unable to find more memory for this machine... I have lots that fit in the slot, but do not show up. Yet I can use the memory from this machine in MB that the other memory works with. I gave up because jackd (netjack) was part of what I wanted to play with. I think 1/4G ram ends up being minimum for most things.
For headless, or even terminal operation, I would use a text session manager (like screen) rather than VTs as it allows using one instance of dbus for all bash instances.
