Silly newbie resistor question

[Michael Moncur]

I have a pile of brand new 1/8W resistors lying around, and was planning to 
use these in a few projects, but I noticed that most of the plans I have 
around specify 1/4W.

So, I know there's no simple answer to this question, but can I substitute 
1/8W in any of these cases? Do synthesizer circuits frequently have more 
than 1/8W running through any particular resistor? (With the exception of 
power supplies and power amps?)

I did try looking at the schematics and calculating wattage, but I didn't 
come up with any reasonable answers, so apparently I need to hit the books 
again.
