Has anybody used slide sequences produced with
Beamer in conjunction with a recorded audio track?

It would be possible, I suppose, to create the Beamer presentation,
then display it full-screen and make some audio commentary, while
recording your desktop with some video-recording software (on Linux,
http://alternativeto.net/software/gtk-recordmydesktop/ ). That would
yield a video of your Beamer presentation with audio track.

Thanks Liviu,
   Your reply confirms my thinking that Beamer
would need to be integrated into a recording system.

 I worked in this field years ago, when we made graphics by
pasting symbols on to a background, or drew them by hand.
Presentations were a sequence of 35mm slides, the sound
tape included an extra track with pulses to advance the
slides.  I have a piece of commercial software that does this
in video but it lacks the slide making abilities of Beamer.

More thinking, and some experimenting to do.
