Thank you for the reply.
Here is an update.

It turns out the codecs are installed, but the codec *wrapper* libraries 
are NOT.
I tried building both "fsl-image-gui" and "fsl-image-test", but the 
results are the same.

I did a comparison against an image built using LTIB, and it turns out 
that "/usr/lib/imx-mm/audio-codec/wrap" contains the wrapper libraries.
The yocto images does not contain this directory nor any of the wrapper 
libraries.

Forgive me if my assumption is wrong, but don't the following lines in 
"do_install_append" from libfslcodec_3.0.1.bb delete the wrapper libraries?

# LTIB move the files around or gst-fsl-plugin won't find them
for p in $(find ${D}${libdir}/imx-mm -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d); do
     mv $p/* ${D}${libdir}
     rmdir $p
done
rmdir ${D}${libdir}/imx-mm

The packaging in "populate_packages_prepend" also seems to place the 
wrapper libraries into "/usr/lib/wrap" which does not match the path 
found in the LTIB generated image.
