Well, this won't be possible with VLC at this time. VLC is able to play
a list of jpeg images as a slide show (although there are much more fit
applications for this kind of uses), and is able to play wav files too.
Moreover, some work has been done to allow VLC to play several streams
at the same time. However, the required demuxes (mjpeg and wav) for the
usage you are describing haven't been updated to use this feature yet.

So, as aconclusion:

- This is not possible yet
- It *might* be in a more or less close future
- Even if this works, VLC is a Video Player... and probably won't be
  very practical to use for such a use...
