Just an update on this: I used a scope without a cape (because I don't own 
one, and estimated backorder on MCM is 52 days).  I verified no life on 
AUD_DOUT P9_28, but I _do_ see life on pins 19 and 20, which are the I2C 
SDA and SCL lines.  As soon as I commence sound output, the SCL goes live 
with a regular pulse, and we see an I2C START on SDA.

So I think this means if I had an actual I2C slave responding to the proper 
address, the BBB would then start outputting serial data on its I2S output 
pin, P9_28.  But without this, I won't see anything.

So it's not a driver or overlay issue, it would appear.
