DVI audio uses a third of the RAM, so Fruit Jam has sound on by default

+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Whether the display configured at board initialization also sends sound through
+the DVI cable, as ``supervisor.runtime.audio``. Defaults to true. It needs a 640-wide
+output: 640x480, 320x240 or 160x120. Audio uses about 37 KB of internal RAM
+next to a 640x480 display. Set this to false to keep that RAM free, for
+example on a monitor without speakers.
+
+``supervisor.runtime.audio`` is a :py:class:`picodvi.AudioOut`. It becomes ``None`` when
+the display is released by ``displayio.release_displays()`` or when it is
+deinitialized, and stays ``None`` until the next reset.
