You can do software RAID on your drives, which gives you a device like
/dev/md0. To put LVM on top of software RAID you create a phyiscal
volume in /dev/md0 (or several PVs in /dev/md<n>), create a volume
group from these PVs, etc.

You can do software RAID0 and LVM on top of it as described above.
However, LVM can also do striping over PVs of one VG, so for striping
you don't need software RAID, but can do LVM directly on your drives.
