This is a pretty ambitious (or combination of effects, really). For starters, check out Andrew Kramer’s Time Freeze tutorial:

That’s the basic effect. Repeat as necessary.

If you’re running Windows, you can refer to the Character Map. It’s located under Start –> Programs –> Accessories –> System Tools. Or you can just click Start –> Run and type ‘charmap’ (without the quotes).
Find the symbol you want and click on it. You’ll see the keystroke for that symbol in the lower right corner of the charmap window.

I would guess that the rationale behind it is rather simple. AE is a motion graphics app, not an NLE. Many AE projects don’t include audio at all, and other just use audio for timing purposes. Mixing audio & video together is generally better done with Premiere.

Congratulations!

If you drop an AVI or MOV onto your timeline, does the audio show up?

Ah, yes – in re-reading your question, I think ringabinn is on the right track. Your playback settings may be set to output the audio to, for example, your DV/Firewire device. That would make the audio play through your camcorder or DV deck instead of your PC’s speakers.

MPG files are not Premiere’s favorite format – they’re generally heavily compressed and not intended for editing.
You may have better results if you convert your clips to AVI’s first. There is an MPEG-aware version of VirtualDub at:
