Could you please email me a copy of your msg to Lincoln about the
inaccuracies?

I did mean 32kbps. How low can you go to get acceptable quality for just
voice? Most information in voice is less than 3,500Hz or so I think. If you
sampled that at atleast 7-8 KHz it would represent a bit rate of 64KHz
without compression.

This means you can have a link to the appropriate m3u file on the html page
containing the corresponding slide correct? So with this approach the only
thing you won't have is automatic advance to the next slide when audio
finishes, which should be no big deal. The user still can manually navigate
thro the slides. This is easy enough that I can set up a couple of trial
slides at my web site.
