I got the same problem and increased only the buffers in :
		in recorder.c to 16 MB
            in transfer.c to 8 MB

I also changed a part in transfer.c wich was commented out (a for with an
usleep). Klaus was speaking about that in a previous post in this mailing
list.

With all that I neved had a ring buffer overflow anymore.

I Hope it will work for you.
