Once the electrolytic has formed up, it should work about as well as the film caps in a coupling cap situation, so long as its biased correctly. To this end, whatever AC voltage is being sent through it as an audio signal should never exceed the DC voltage on the cap.
I don't know how a coupling cap in a traditional solid state output could do that- The DC on the cap would be 1/2 of the power supply voltage and the output swing of the amplifier could be nearly rail to rail. So in such a circumstance the cap would make considerable distortion. I think this is one of the ways electrolytics have gotten a bad rap in audio as coupling caps.
