no. we don't provide any audio acceleration, and we entirely rely on ARM
open source codecs for any open source community. Some customers are using
h/w acceleration but we don't have any solution that we can share publicly.

OMAP4 has support for "low power music playback" using some specific h/w
that has large buffers for samples so you can shut down the CPU while
playing the 'decoded' samples. I am not how much of that is currently
available in our Linaro kernel though.

why exactly are you looking for that? are you interested in decoders or
encoders?
