I was only able to test 24-bit -- in practice 20-bit seems pretty rare
and I'm finding it difficult to convert anything into that format with
standard tools like ffmpeg, sox, etc. so I can't really test it.

From what I understand, this is configuring the number of significant
bits in the FIFO and has nothing to do with the in-memory format. So
my commit message is a bit inaccurate.

DMA can only do 4-byte transfers so that's why only 4-byte formats are
usable. I suppose I could handle the 3-byte variants here, but there's
probably no point to doing that if DMA can't transfer them.
