This doesn't cover ALL the cases that CPython permits for construction
of a struct_time, but it at least makes constructing from any namedtuple
work.
Closes: #2326
The sample width register was never set, so all samples were played
as though they were 16 bit.
After this change, 8-bit samples no longer produce audio on the MAX 98357A
BOB, because only 16-, 24-, and 32-bit samples are supported by the
hardware. This will be addressed by a future change to pad samples to
16 bits; see #2323 and the 98357A datasheet page 6.
The meaning of the "single channel" parameter is not well-documented,
but in fact it seems that "true" must be passed or else the returned
channel_count is always 1. This caused stereo samples to be played
incorrectly.
(or deinitialized, for those of us on this side of the pond)
Otherwise, a sequence like
```
audio = audiobusio.I2SOut(bit_clock=board.D6, word_select=board.D9, data=board.D10)
sine_wave_sample = audiocore.RawSample(sine_wave)
audio.play(sine_wave_sample, loop=True)
del audio
```
could free the memory associated with audio without stopping the
related background task. Later, when fresh objects are allocated within
a now-freed memory region, they can get overwritten in the background
task, leading to a hard crash.
This presumably can affect multiple I2S implementations, but it was
reported against the nRF one.
This caused two problems when playing unsigned samples:
* When an even number of samples were present, it "worked" but only
every other sample was copied into the output, changing the waveform
* When an odd number of samples were present, the copy continued beyond
the end of the buffers and caused a hard fault
If we put no samples into the buffer, then there is no last
sample to fill out hold_value with. (and, in fact, the expression such
as *(uint32_t*)(buffer-4) is outside an allocated region)
Detect this condition, and leave the prior value in place.
This improves clicks heard when pausing and resuming a waveform.
