Are you also running a Desktop Environment? While my focus is a backup server, using FreeBSD as a thin client for media streaming seems reasonable. I've been using Fluxbox with Anti-X (Linux Debian fork) on an old HP-Mini netbook with success, with a 188Mb Ram footprint, would imagine it will be pretty close with FreeBSD.
Quartz64, RockPro64, PinePhone Mobian, PineBook Pro, PineTime, and all the trimmings that make FOSS fun.
