a pi4 shouldn't make any kind of performance problem for audio streaming...
should be solved for a decade, but just for fun, what does dpkg --print-architecture say?
the answer should be armhf...
for debugging, you could run darkice from the command line, in a screen (survives logout from the shell),
with high verbosity 1-10, redirect output into a logfile, eg.
screen
sudo darkice -v5 -c your.config.file > /tmp/darkice.log 2>&1
when these buffer overruns occur, something should be in the logs. If not, increase log levels.
