Asking the question from a position of almost total ignorance of both
subjects, does someone know whether it would be possible to use
genetic algorithms to help in the tuning of such parameters and filter
coefficients?

Sad but true. I do have a good book ("Introduction to Data Compression")
that describes the general approaches used in MP3 and other modern
codecs but I suspect that a great deal of careful work must go into
tuning the precise parameters and filter coefficients to make a
really great codec.
