Downside with the Pi Zero is zero audio hardware.  You'd have to
interface an I²S chip yourself.

From what I've seen, the ADC/DAC drivers seem to operate using DMA and
interrupts.  That would seem to be most of where the real-time work is
being done.

I'm slowly moving more things to state machines so one could possibly
determine when the CPU can be put to sleep from that.  I think
power-saving support is a long way off, and even without that, the
SM1000 seems to sip power.
