The problem with this is that there is nostandard for synchronizing
sound to animations (yet?).  Animation Station, AniMagic, MovieSetter,
and (I believe) the Animation: series all provide this capability to
varying degrees, but none are compatible with the others (as far as I
have been able to find out).

This means that you will need to use the player program provided with
whichever animator you use in order to get the benefits of sounds.
