After 30+ hours of tinkering with all the variables, looking through some ESP32 code, changing values trying to get it working, it looks like I got it.
I have a bit of an unusual initial setup, as I'm sharing the I2S for sending and receiving, in reality, I think it was intended to have separate descriptors for sending/receiving.
