Actually (unrelated to Pi 3), audio was recently improved in an experimental driver.

From the engineer who worked on it:

> I reimplemented the original PWM-based 11-bit audio @48kHz as 7-bit 2nd-order Sigma-Delta modulated at 781.25kHz. The effective noise floor with this scheme approximates that of CD-quality audio DACs.

That is a superlative discovery, and extremely intriguing. Thank you for sharing it!
