Didn't say it was "a given", I said it was missing. It may be that  
Qarl will implement something else instead, but I sure hope that  
reason prevails and the basics get taken care of first.

Synchronizing events in multiple prims for everything else in SL is  
done through link messages and through the audio sync support, or by  
setting the parameters to multiple prims in a link set. Extending  
llSetLinkParams to allow more precise control of the links (which is  
in the list Iridium provided) along with the sculpt animation  
parameter should get you what you need. Keying sculpt and texture  
animations to audio sync might be better, and would solve problems  
for texture animations as well, but that doesn't seem to be in the pipe.

So... getting something that animates *one* sculpty may give you what  
you need, and if not the link parameters proposal being considered  
would do the job.
