[arm-allstar] Very jittery audio on Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W

[David McGough]

I've got several RPiZ2W boards, no issues at all with WiFi, choppy audio, 
etc.  Is the choppiness in both directions, or just one direction?

Also, what happens if you get the RPiZ2W spaced away from all other WiFi /
Bluetooth devices?  In my test setup, I've got the Z2W node 10+ feet from
the Ubiquiti Loco M2 and other nodes.  I've only extensively tested Loco
M2 AP's with my Z2W nodes.  At a spacing of about 10 feet, iwconfig
reports -45dBm on the Z2W.  And, the LocoM2 reports -48dBm.  I've
currently got 8 WiFi devices linked to this LocoM2, all but 3 devices
being various RPi hardware.

Merry Christmas!
