This was there since the code was merged, but why does it say we're
going to skip the first uint16_t when we actually skip int32_t?
Does anyone know?

I think the 16-bit samples are padded out to 32-bits by the DMA transfer. The loop following the above line of code converts the 32-bit DMA'ed samples back to 16-bit samples.
