Cinelerra is probably the closest thing to a GUI you can use for this 
kind of thing on Linux.  It will let you edit and synchronize separate 
audio and video streams (and supports LADSPA plugins).  You will need to 
convert the video into Quicktime first, however (using something like 
Quicktime Pro or quicktime4linux), and then import into Cinelerra.  I 
just had a small project where I needed to merge a preexisting audio 
file with a short 10 second animation, and the animation had to loop 
repeatedly for the duration of the audio.  Cinelerra worked very well 
for this.
