Does IE6 support css-sprites?

A:
CSS sprites is a general solution using backround-position, which is avaible even in IE5.
A good tutorial about them is located here: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/04/27/the-mystery-of-css-sprites-techniques-tools-and-tutorials/

A:
Yes.
CSS sprites is just a technique to use offset on background images to display different parts of the same image in different elements.
I use CSS sprites on for example the main menu on the website of the company I work for, and the flags on my own web site. I started using it before it was even called CSS sprites...

Browsers which support background-position property will support CSS sprites also.

Yes. If you're using PNGs though you should consider a few things. Here is a decent summary of IE 6 PNG issues:

I have encountered the IE6 CSS sprites problem myself - I blogged it here: http://www.stevefenton.co.uk/Content/Blog/Date/200905/Blog/I-Said-Overflow-Hidden/
There's a really easy fix - I quote myself here...
Luckily, the solution wasn't too bad. Internet Explorers passim seem to ignore overflow:hidden when a child element is set to position:relative. Not good news... but the solution is easy - set the element with overflow:hidden to also be position:relative and then change the position:relative declaration on the child to be position:absolute... the jobs a goodun.
The full details can be found on that link.

Yes IE 6 supports sprites but doesn't support 24 bit PNG transparency.
I use this css hack for giving IE < 7 a gif file and everything else a 24 bit png with transparency.
background-image:url(/images/sprites/icons-sprite.png);
_background-image:url(/images/sprites/icons-sprite.gif); /* IE<7 gets the crappy icons */
