Fascinating concept.  Good luck with it.
Have you considered simply having povray
render a text file in csound syntax?
csound is a public domain cross-platform
audio rendering package.  It's pov-ray for
sound.  No need to code any java.  :D

I havn't tried this beacause I can't figure
csound out.  I do remember that csound will
read in external .wav files so careful use
of variable delays, panning, and volume
(amplitude) envelopes/modulation should
be enough to move sound-sources in 3-space.
