Juan,

overflows happen on the SDR hardware! No wonder you're not seeing them
when reading samples from a file... A file doesn't care how fast you
process it, whereas a SDR device needs your computer to process the
samples as fast as it produces them.

So, whatever CPU utilization you observe with a file is completely
irrelevant to the question whether your PC is fast enough to process
these samples in real-time. What counts is that the signal processing
throughput, including handling the hardware overhead, is above the
sampling rate for any but the shortest-term average.

Best regards,
Marcus
