Gnome pulseaudio using lots of shared memory

Out of curisoty I did the following ls -l /dev/shm and I saw the following files:-

-r-------- 1 peter users 67108904 Mar 23 10:40 pulse-shm-3021221787
-r-------- 1 peter users 67108904 Mar 23 10:24 pulse-shm-3538772094
-r-------- 1 peter users 67108904 Mar 23 12:27 pulse-shm-3584709017
-r-------- 1 peter users 67108904 Mar 23 10:24 pulse-shm-419282190

Just wondering why pulseaudio needs such large files? Is it possible to reduce this?

Many thanks in advance
