Reduce Pocket Door Sound

I followed another link on this site to help quiet a pocket door:

I'd like to expand on this if anyone can help. Here's what I am doing. We have a unused space in our "attic" area that I want to turn into an office. I plan on using acoustical caulk along all the contact points. Double the drywall with silicone beads or maybe green glue between the sheets. But this room is small so I would like to use a pocket door to access it to save space. I've considered adhering MLV to the door to help the door itself, MLV over the pocket frame and extending the pocket side jam a couple of inches to overlap the door itself. However this still leaves the gap pocket doors leave between the frame and door itself, along top/side/bottom where the door slides along. Is there a foam, or some type of weather strip that can be put between the door and frame to block sound and match the rest of the rooms sound proofing quality?
