ALSA folks: is a driver like this acceptable?  In particular, I'm
wondering how you feel about the in-kernel munging of the audio buffers
to something appropriate for the PWM hardware, before we get into review
of driver details.

This driver isn't quite a replacement for the closed source driver in
the firmware (couple of notes: firmware seems to have some dithering of
the audio values in the sigma delta modulation process, and a priority
bump on the DMA because the PWM's fifo is tiny), but I'm definitely
interested in us having something like it in open source.
