The most recent developer video diary from Lionhead Studios deals with a behind the scenes look at the audio and soundtrack of Fable 2.  This free-roaming RPG requires a detailed soundtrack but they managed to fit 9,000 unique sound fx into 90mb on the disk.  Even modern console systems have a limited amount of memory dedicated to run audio, but 90mb leaves alot of room for dialog and music.
