Is it possible to connect audio to subtitle streams?

Question

Hello-
I'm putting together a guitar instructional dvd and would like to have tuning screens that would allow users to tune their instruments to tones provided on the dvd. I'd like to have users be able to select the strings through using a icons that would be contained in subtitle streams and, ideally, the selection of that stream would trigger the appropriate audio file.
Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks...

That sounds to me as if you'd like to put a clickable object into a subtitle stream, in which case I believe the answer is no. You can put buttons over video and make use of the subtitle stream to do so, or you can think a little about ways to structure the section you are working on a little differently.
For example, if I go to a menu which has six buttons along the bottom, each of which corresponds to a different guitar string then I can change the audio by clicking on a button.
You \might do this by using a TRACK as your menu, using buttons over video and adding six audio streams to the track. You would set each button target to go to a short script which sets the correct audio stream and then sends you back to the track. The scripting is simple:
Set System Stream Au(1(audio file info))
Jump Trackname
You then hear a different audio note each time.
Alternatively, use standard menus, make six identical versions and set a different audio stream into each. Now, set each button to go to the correct menu, which will look the same but sound different.
Whilst I quite like the scripting challenge, the latter is a far easier and more straightforward solution. You can always add video to a menu background if you are needing to, of course.
