Does anyone known when OpenOffice will deal with wav files attached to powerpoint slides?
Never.
I find when I run OpenOffice on an XP machine the multimedia stuff attached works but on Linux it never has. Possibly a secuity issue?
I dunno. I think it is a serious bug, but unfortunately, I'm in the minority. I just did a test with OOo 2.0.2 (which I know is earlier than your version) and could not play sounds with powerpoint-created files.
All these wav file attachments seem to be placed in ~/.ooo-2.0/user/gallery
So what I have been doing is going there and looking for the latest date and then using xmms to play the sound before actually running the slide show.
