The ammount to buffer option is defined as the amount of RAM or swap file to use when buffering audio to memory. When
recording to disk this value is ignored.

You may misunderstand the purpose of RadioRecord. Take the following as an example:
You know that a song is going to play (on the radio) sometime during the next hour.
Even if you sit and wait for the song to come on. Chances are that you will miss the intro.
Radio record provides a solution; The ability to buffer audio into memory. It enables you to record
audio directly to your memory for temporary storage. Not only is this fast, but it reduces hard drive wear.
Currently, this feature is not automatic. You must manually specify the maximum amount of memory RadioRecord
can use. If this value is reached, the audio that is the 'oldest' is dropped to make room for the new audio.
Once the song comes on, click record and RadioRecord will save the buffer to disk. After this, it will begin
saving audio to disk, bypassing the buffer. Thus the ammount to buffer option is ignored while recording.

Radio record is still an early beta (maybe I should call it alpha). I hope to improve on it
sometime in the future.
