Hmmm... I'm not sure if there's a uniform way of doing all of
this.  There are modules available that let you fiddle with sound and
recording:

For example:

    http://213.93.58.229/alpy/

is a link to the ALPY library --- it lets you play sound in 3 dimensions.  


You may want to browse through the Vaults of Parnassus and see what
kind of multimedia packages are out there:

I hope this helps!
