What were people actually complaining about?  I suspect it was the root
clock for the audio tree that they were concerned about rather than the
I2S bus clock.

Well, the main issue is the quality of the root clock for the tree which
I'd not propose to change away from the CODEC.  In terms of just passing
through a well generated clock at a useful rate it's fairly rare to have
problems, the problem is getting that 256fs (or whatever) root clock.
