I actually went digging for a bit on information about audio codecs being decoded in Qualcomm's hexagon DSP. I'm no expert but it seems like recent generations of the platform (anything post-2013 or so) don't bother with hardware decoding for audio codecs (except for in voice calling with AMR and EVS). It appears to be all software codecs for many generations now. Makes sense as even the efficiency cores on modern mobile devices are way overkill for audio.
