Are you thinking of random but (for the duration of the sound) fixed  
volume and panning for each sound, or of randomly animating it while  
the sound is playing?

The former should be easy to achieve using the math.random() function (http://www.lua.org/manual/5.0/manual.html#5.5 
) and the sound:volume() and sound:location() methods (Pipmak manual  
section 3.9 "Sounds").

The latter would be more involved, probably involving some kind of  
spline functions, but still easily possible.

Does that answer the question or would you like more detail?
