Here is a simple guide to importing sound into Maya.

Imported audio is great for matching up animations but you'll want to use a video editor (Premiere, Final Cut, etc.) to combine your renders with audio for the final product.

As far as "publishing and animation" I assume you are talking about saving the animation as something you can watch using a video player. This is called rendering and a quick youtube search results in a handful of videos explaining the process. This is the first one I clicked on and it goes through the process step by step. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_N-TWfx3FpU

If you have any other questions about maya or still have rendering issues that google can't solve let me know.
