Preventing sounds during shows

I sometimes get from my friends and colleagues emails that contain PP
presentations. Those presentations often contain annoying music, which
I'd rather not hear. I can shut the OS sound, but I usually listen to
my own music, and rather not do that.

Is there a way to turn off the music that is played during a PP show?
If not, is there a way to prevent all PP shows from playing music in
advance? I'll be happy with any level of solution - I'm a programmer,
and know my way around Windows.
 
If you can programme in vba you can cycle through
a) all the slides and remove transition sounds
b) each shape on every slide, search for sounds and delete them

The code would be something like this (top of head stuff & untested)

Sub zapsounds()
Dim osld As Slide
Dim oshp As Shape
Dim n As Integer
For Each osld In ActivePresentation.Slides
osld.SlideShowTransition.SoundEffect.Type = ppSoundNone
For n = osld.Shapes.Count To 1 Step -1
Set oshp = osld.Shapes(n)
If oshp.Type = msoMedia Then
If oshp.MediaType = ppMediaTypeSound Then
oshp.Delete
End If
End If
Next
Next
End Sub
