My experience so far was not about a full-fledged multichannel 5.1
soundtrack but with a sonification of a silent film
(http://vimeo.com/7317445 and a brief 'experience report' here:
http://lists.linuxaudio.org/pipermail/linux-audio-user/2009-September/06298…)
After getting used to it using xjadeo which simply synced with ardour,
rosegarden and any Jack-transport-enabled app was a charm.

But keep in mind that the 'video-hell' is
not just linux: my colleagues
use a very expensive final-cut and they're still always having touble
with framerates, aspec ratios, codecs, etc. etc.
Much also depends, I think, on the kind of film (short movie, full film,
documentary) and what kind of work /you/ have to do (music only, all
soundtrack etc.)
Kind regards,
Lorenzo.
