Probably not, but who knows.
Well, the publishers have no incentive, because I'd guess in most cases they don't control the audio rights, so what do they care.
My guess: there'll be a lot of dickering about this with new contracts, but for existing contracts, people will stand by while the fur flies. That's more or less what happened with the Guild/Publishers/Google brouhaha, which ultimately ended with Google pledging some money to pay writers for their scanning of copyrighted books.
I don't think people are going to start amending contracts. I don't think there is any operation in the universe that is less efficient than the production of publishing contracts. That would probably be the final nail in the coffin of the economy.
