The overflow is not a result of buffering; in fact, buffering helps.
overflows happen because at any bottleneck in your processing chain,
samples start to stagnate, causing back pressure. When all buffers are
filled, there's nothing the rtl source can do but drop samples. That's
an overflow.
A computationally intense filter might also lead to overflows, but here
it's because your CPU can't keep up with the sample rate, whereas with
the file sink, your storage can't sustain the write rates.
