For what I've seen the dma controller interface is almost the same
(same base addrs, offsets, etc) with some enhanced channels (DMA4).
I'm not sure which are those and which are lite although, just poke
the debug regs?

The pi4 has now two pwm controllers, the jack is connected to gpios
40 and 41 (if I'm correct) and the code has to be changed to use
pwm1 when the soc is BCM2711.

Yes, I think this is the best option for quality audio and I'm sure
I'll play with this in the future, but I'd like to be able to use
the onboard audio output also.

I'll share with the list if I make it work.

adr.
