Not sure if this can help! SSI TDM is set to 32 slots but only 2 are masked. So every frame only
2 slots are pushed/pulled from the FIFOs. maxburst is set to pull a block of 8 elements from the
FIFOs, DMA cyclic call it period. So the full DMA buffer is filled in buffer size / period DMA iterations.

Yep! I will try to restart the DMA channels from a failure to see if this might work or not.
