Impress has a problem with embeded PPS sound if it is an mp3. I've run accross this problem before (linux & Win Impress). If the embeded file is an actual .wav file, it generally works. If the file is .wav, you will be able to see the file by opening Slide Transition and looking under "Sound". For example; the 'let it snow' pps in this bug report: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=84819 will play just fine using Impress Windows, you'll even be able to see the "Let it Snow! Dean Martin" sound/wav file. For some reason it goes wonky in linux Impress (Ubuntu OOo 2.4 and standard OOo 2.4). I _think_ but not sure yet, is that the wav file name has spaces in it. Sorry, that is not really good PPS file for example, but I pointed you to that so you can see bug reports filed on this issue. There are ways to extract the mp3 file from the pps (and sometimes they've named to make it appear as a wav) but you need MS PowerPoint to do it.
