I have tried making an Impress presentation and had no end of trouble
with sound. First, it does not play with linux, which I use, when you
add sound to the presentation. Second, every time I attempted to move
the presentation from one computer to another the connection between
the sound files and the presentation was completely broken and I had
to add the links again.
That is why I don't think the addition of sound to presentations is
handled very well. In fact, I believe it is handled quite poorly in
relation to linux and since the sound is not added to the production
it is not carried with the presentation files as a part of the
presentation.
However, that is only my experience. Others may have varying experiences!
Good luck!
