Multiplexing by itself isn't hard - it's when you want it displayed
that it becomes an issue.

You can always make different files and do the switching between the
camera angles with their respective audio based on an interface
similar to what I have done. There won't be any noticeably delay if
you have preloaded all the videos. So, it is indeed easier to create
an interface for non-multiplexed files.

For multiplexed files, you might find you have to extend a player -
certainly Firefox will not be able to deal with them.

Cheers,
Silvia.
