Well, it's a bit more than murmur but still nowhere near where it should
be. Year ago I spent some time trying to make it work here is the latest
WIP patch:
https://people.freebsd.org/~gonzo/arm/patches/vchiq-wip-20180217.diff

The audio does play for a short while and then locks up and since there
is no way to know what happens on the VideoCore side the debugging
becomes a bit problematic.
