Text on path is a powerful tool, but I don't think it's going produce the desired effect for this application. Sure, you can make the text curve up and down, but only one direction at a time.
Anyone have a good tutorial on the envelope effect? I would think that if anything currently in inkscape would be the appropriate tool to create this effect, this would be it. If you've this effect successfully in Xtara Xtreme.

Maybe text on path can do what you want? I would have to try it out
first, but maybe it is doable...
