About Music/Video playback. Decoders are created like following.
- If a video decoder is created by stagefright's omx(like H.264), hw video codec is created. Emulator is an exception, only in this case sw video codec is created.
- If a video decoder is created by other library other than stagefright's omx, sw video codec is created. On current b2g, stagefright's omx is not used for vp8 decoder creation. See Bug 821524.
- If an audio decoder is created by stagefright's omx, hw decoder is created if possible. If failed to create hw decoder, sw decoder is created.
- stagefright's omx is used when media file format is mp3/mp4/amr.

> Are there any methods to configure it ?

Current B2G do not provide a way to configure it by applications.

Hw video codec at stagefright's omx is disabled by bug 834150.
