Does Wwise provide support for integrating a lip-sync solution?

To integrate your lip-sync solution I would suggest using our marker notifications. This is usually the most efficient way to do it. Markers are identifiers that are inserted in an audio file and used to tag a position within the file. These markers can be created using most 3^rd party audio editing applications.

An application can use these markers to be notified when a certain position is reached during playback. For example, you could use this information to synchronize content drawing with the audio being played, or to know which file is being played by a random container so that the correct subtitles can be displayed in your game.

For more information, refer to SDK help document, and search for "Integrating Markers".

Also, you will find a code sample on how to use markers in:

..\Program Files\Audiokinetic\Wwise SDK vxxx\samples\IntegrationDemo\

The sample uses the markers for subtitles, but it is pretty much the same thing when using lip-sync. If you need the wav file name, you can store it in a marker and put it at the beginning of the file.
