I can, perhaps, answer to some of this.

I find that if I set the sound to Stream before I animate, I can run the

playback head back and forth (scrubbing) and I can hear a distorted - but

useable - soundtrack to check what frame things fall on. Be sure to have

your fps rate set from the get-go, or else you'll find yourself resetting

your animation timing.
