Hi Alex,

I don't know too much about sound in blender, or even sound
in general, so I can't offer to mentor you with this. I can
give a few pointers to regions of the code you may want to
look at:

blender/source/blender/src/editsound.c
blender/source/blender/src/seqaudio.c
intern/SoundSystem

Blender uses OpenAL for game engine sound, and SDL for the regular
animation system sound. Both of these libraries have documentation
that you may want to look at to see if you can achieve the effects
you want:

http://www.openal.org/

Regards,
Chris
