Too bad.

26MHz is the MCLK, which is used by the TWL4030 codec's APLL as a master 
clock.

So you modified the omap3beagle.c file to use your codec, which is not the 
TWL4030, and it is not on the McBSP2 bus, right? Or have you written a new 
board file for your codec and removed the twl4030 codec from the kernel?

You seams to be confusing things here...

In order to use the OMAP as master:
In the hw_param function (on my custom board with twl4030 codec as slave):

/* codec is slave */
ret = snd_soc_dai_set_fmt(codec_dai,
			  SND_SOC_DAIFMT_I2S |
			  SND_SOC_DAIFMT_NB_NF |
			  SND_SOC_DAIFMT_CBS_CFS);
/* OMAP is master */
ret = snd_soc_dai_set_fmt(cpu_dai,
			  SND_SOC_DAIFMT_I2S |
			  SND_SOC_DAIFMT_NB_NF |
			  SND_SOC_DAIFMT_CBS_CFS);
/* codec MCLK is 19.2MHz in my board, 26 MHz on beagle */
ret = snd_soc_dai_set_sysclk(codec_dai, 0, 19200000,
				    SND_SOC_CLOCK_IN);
/* McBSP clock settings for my custom board.
 * Note that the freq is there for reference, it is not

div = clk_id = freq = 0;
switch (params_rate(params)) {
case 44100: /* 44.117 */
        div = 68;
        clk_id = OMAP_MCBSP_SYSCLK_CLKS_FCLK;
        freq = 96000000;
        break;
case 48000: /* 48.032 */
        div = 54;
        clk_id = OMAP_MCBSP_SYSCLK_CLK;
        freq = 83000000;
        break;
default:
        printk(KERN_ERR "hw params: unknown rate %d\n",
                params_rate(params));
        return -EINVAL;
}

ret = snd_soc_dai_set_sysclk(cpu_dai, clk_id, freq, SND_SOC_CLOCK_IN);
ret = cpu_dai->dai_ops.set_clkdiv(cpu_dai, OMAP_MCBSP_CLKGDV, div);


Since you want OMAP as master you need to configure the cpu_dai correctly to 
provide the clocks for the codec.

Does this clear things for you?
