Due to different issues in our audio recording path I couldn't test
this properly, and only looked at the .wav data in audacity, which
appeared to look ok. After putting some of the missing pieces
together and I noticed that mono capture doesn't work as intended,
the recorded audio is slowed down. I think this is because the I2S
controller keeps generating a two-channel stream, however the sound
system interprets it as a monophonic stream because of the channel
configuration.

Not sure if there is a clean solution for this if we can't tell the
hardware to generate a single-channel stream. Any suggestions or do
we have to revert the patch?

Sorry about the mess :(
