There was a discussion about this recently on FSFE-UK, and the consensus was 
that there isn't really anything that can do the whole job.  F4L, which 
Beatriz mentioned, is apparently not being developed any more, and the 
audio-triggering facilities of Flash (for instance) don't really have any 
free software equivalent.  SMIL is a possibility for some functionality, but 
not all.  I was told by one free software programmer that it would be 
possible to write something basic but reasonably effective for around $3,500, 
which seems good value to me, but it's too much for me to pay individually.  
If we could get a couple of hundred people to put $20 in a pot, a la Mozilla, 
then it might be a goer!
