feat: configure PCM1862 differential inputs and optimize audio buffer settings

- Added PCM1862 I2S interface setup with differential input configuration via I2C
- Reduced audio buffer latency by decreasing period_size from 240 to 120 samples (5ms to 2.5ms)
- Updated buffer_size to 360 samples for both channels to maintain stable audio capture
