I have a powerpoint presentation, and I want to programatically
extract out the embedded audio in the slides onto .wav files on disk
(and remove them from the presentation). Given the powerpoint
presentation/slides/slide objects, how would I query the slide to
determine if it has audio, and to extract the audio out?


Thanks

Thank you for following up your own question with the information you
found. It could prove very useful for someone else, should they have the
same question in the future. Posting the links here is very helpful.

One small suggestion: if there's some concise way to summarize what's
contained in those links, you might consider posting that information as
well. The newsgroup is archived in what is likely to be a much more
robust way than the lifetime of those links, and so having at least a hint
here as to what the solution was could be even more valuable in the
future, if those links go out of date.

Thanks!
