Ok, so I managed to enlarge the buffer by increasing the
max_buffer_bytes in snd_pcm_hardware capture struct. However, it doesn't
really make sense... The original value was (128*1024) which should give
a buffer of 128K, but in reality it gave a buffer of 32K. Now when I was
hacking last night it got to the point where I just started twiddling
knobs to see what would happen, and it turns out that changing the
max_buffer_bytes to (256*1024) gave me 64K of buffer. So, I don't have a
clue what is going on here, but I now have enough buffer to get the
audio data captured and written out before an overflow occurs.

Cheers,
