Everything is possible, it depends on effort you can put into it :-)

Putting following into your customization layer should do the trick:
<xsl:param name="generate.id.attributes" select="1"/>
<xsl:param name="generate.consistent.ids" select="1"/>
<xsl:template name="id.attribute">
<xsl:param name="node" select="."/>
<xsl:param name="conditional" select="0"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$generate.id.attributes = 0">
<!-- No id attributes when this param is zero -->
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$conditional = 0 or $node/@id or $node/@xml:id">
<xsl:attribute name="id">
<xsl:call-template name="object.id">
<xsl:with-param name="object" select="$node"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
However if you change your DocBook source autogenerated IDs will change.

Have you considered generating this SMIL file automatically? I can
imagine putting custom attributes into DocBook document, something like:
<chapter my:audio="file.mp3">
<title>Foo</title>
<para my:begin="0:00:02.000" my:end="0:00:15.000">...</para>
<para my:begin="0:00:15.000" my:end="0:00:25.000">...</para>
...
From such markup you can quite easily generate SMIL file automatically.

Yes, generation of OPF file is split into set of relative small
templates which you can easily override. Look into
epub3/epu3-element-mods.xsl file. For example metadata part is generated
by the following template:
<xsl:template name="package.metadata">
<xsl:element name="metadata" namespace="{$opf.namespace}">
<xsl:call-template name="metadata.identifier"/>
<xsl:call-template name="metadata.title"/>
<xsl:call-template name="metadata.language"/>
<xsl:call-template name="metadata.modified"/>
<xsl:call-template name="metadata.cover"/>
<xsl:call-template name="metadata.other.info"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
You can generate this template manually, or put your custom elements
inside <info> elements and handle them in special opf.metadata mode.
<info>
...
<media:narrator>Narrator Name</media:narrator>
</info>
<xsl:template match="media:*" mode="opf.metadata">
<meta property="media:{local-name(.)}"><xsl:value-of select="."/></meta>
</xsl:template>
