Gerold -- I don't know if this is on the Ambassadors areas of the wiki
somewhere, but it's very useful information.  If Ambassadors have some
guidelines for how many pieces of media they should consider requesting,
it helps in the overall budget planning as well.

It may not be as simple as saying "1 CD for every {5,10,...} people."
For some small events, it makes sense to have 1 piece of media for each
person.  For some larger ones, the ratio may need to be smaller if we
want to stay within budget!

This would be a useful thing to consider drafting and having the
Ambassador community think about.  I don't think it needs to be an
absolute rule, but rather a guideline for planning.
