Note:
dtparam=audio=on is not required for kodi usage. It may be needed if you run external apps (e.g. emulators) that require alsa.
audio_pwm_mode=2 is sufficient for kodi.
You can manually update the firmware (http://start.elf/fixup.dat) to get bug fixes that aren't in Jarvis release.
You can use a Milhouse nightly build which does have latest firmware.
