I'm assuming you are referring to audio other than what's in the movie. Yes, but this may take some work. there are several audio servers available for linux. esound and arts are common, and can reside over the default kernel audio drivers (for kernels <= 2.4.x). KDE uses arts and gnome uses esound (I think. I'm not a gnome user.) Modern sound installations based on alsa (default in the 2.5 and 2.6 kernels series) now have support for a dmix device, which acts as a multiplexer for the audio device. In addition, some sound cards have hardware mixers built in, and can support multiple channels without software assistance. I can try to help you with more specific answers (to the best of my ability), but before that can happen, I'd need to know what your current audio setup is. hints: alsa will create a directory called /proc/asound and use modules beginning with snd-<driver name> PS. you may want to fix your reply-to.
