Exclusive lock is fine - but not when you're not playing audio and gui sounds are off (well, if you ask me) - hogging the audio device even when not playing back will definitely make XBMC less friendly on a lot of platforms where XBMC isn't the only thing being used....so I still presume they will look at this....
But no, no audio is done via XBMC/AE. You could just hand off the stream that LMS provides I guess, but it wouldn't overall work nearly as well. The general point of this is reasonable syncing (otherwise you'd jsut use the XBMC music system, right) - and Squeezeslave is the best way to do that.
I have seen the stuff about the Pi & hardfloat but don't really know anything about it - those squeezeslave builds only just recently went up - honestly I can't be bothered right now until someone actually produces a fairly ready-to-go release. The code is on googlecode, though, so you can certainly do a pull request for Pi stuff if you fancy fixing it up...but once there is a fairly solid release, I will probably look at it again depending on my real-world schedule...which is a bit nuts lately.
