I include sound annotations into the PDF file. It worked even with PDF 
1.4 (AR 5). The macros are described in the Czech TeX Bulletin 2/2002
(http://bulletin.cstug.cz/pdf/bul_022.pdf); unfortunately only in Czech 
language. But macro language is international ;-)

According to PDF Spec 1.4 (and newer) it should be possible even vith 
wideo annotations. But I was not successful to do it. I suspected that 
annotation plug-in does not fullfil all kind PDF Spec (e.g. Embeded file 
specification, URL - not local specification).

Multimedia support in AR for Win is slowly increasing. For Linux there 
is no support for video/sound annotations yet. I do not use Mac but I 
think the situation is similar to Win.
