Still running, and will run probably through the weekend... it really was just 
sort of, it works, listen. :) 

basically whater 12.04 you pulled

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install lame
sudo apt-get install darkice

setup darkice.cfg 

darkice -v 10 -c darkice.cfg

or

If you have limited bandwidth, thats really not an issue with the "buffer 
overflow."

Thats a hardware issue

you might try this:

sudo darkice -v 10 -c darkice.cfg

if that reduces it some, then 
increase the buffer in the darkice.cfg

The buffer overflow has a lot to do with if you have tasks that absorb too much 
time. Using sudo puts darkice under the RT level so its got a high priority.

Kill off X if you don't need it.

post a top output when these overflows are happening.
