This is what I would do.  Set up all of your sounds and music in one 
file.  Put a one second delay in between all the sounds.  Then you write 
down the order in which all the sounds are laid out.  Know the timing of 
each sound and you can have QT play from 10 seconds into the file up to 
15 seconds.  Do this with as many players as you like and you can really 
go to town.

The only hard part is the setup.  Once it is done though you have a 
solution that will be easy to use through the program.  You could even 
write a small randomizer that would call on random tracks if you like 
and play them.
