Now a 'once' and a 'loop' buffer can be specified.
'once' is useful for things like writing a neopixel strip in the background,
if you can guarantee the buffer contents are stable until the write is complete.
'loop' is useful for periodic things, like pwm & servos.
both together are useful for some special cases of pwm/servo, where a
transitional waveform needs to be played for one repetition and then
a new waveform needs to be played after that.
The API is renamed to reflect that it's a more generic 'background'
operation.
RP2040 and SAMD51:
- Detect when DMA has finished, and stop DMA audio explicitly.
- Do not accidentally reuse `first_buffer` supplied by WaveFile or RawSample. Always realloc `first_buffer` and `second_buffer`
RP2040:
- When audio playing is stopped, write a final zero to the output register. This prevents residual PWM tones.
- Handle buffer size for 8-bit samples properly for 16-bit output.
- Fail on some edge cases (which may not be possible at the moment).
1. Check for correct error values from dma_claim_unused_channel.
2. Introduce a .stereo flag for simplicity.
3. Clarify PWM carrier frequency choice.
4. Start introducing quiescent audio value. Still need to ramp up/down.
5. Redo audio stop logic a bit.
6. Fix (unrelated) displayio dependency things.
There is still an interference problem between other DMA users and audio. Still debugging this.
This adds I2SOut and PDMIn support via PIO.
StateMachines can now:
* read and read while writing
* transfer in 1, 2 or 4 byte increments
* init pins based on expected defaults automatically
* be stopped and restarted
* rxfifo can be cleared and rxstalls detected (good for tracking when
the reading code isn't keeping up)
