Hi David,

That's odd.
Let me drill a little deeper.
Let's stay strictly with Ubuntu and watermelons.pps for the time being.

PRELIMINARY COMMENTS
I've been using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS downloaded/installed from the Ubuntu site
on a "virgin" partitiion (i.e., never had, worked with any other Ubuntus
before).
In pristine condition, no modifications, no additions, etc.
Just keeping it up to date as per Ubuntu official Updates.
Just for my 64-bits "exposure".
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW TESTS (as stated in the OP, with PA not running by default, "autospawn=no")

Test #1.
PA not started, not running.
Attach. 'psax1.txt' (ps ax)
Start LibreOffice Impress ("LOI", from now on).
Open 'watermelons.pps' ("W", from now on).
NO SOUND (quiet as a mouse)
Attach. 'psax2.txt'
Stop LOI (after approx. 20 sec.).
Attach. 'psax22.txt'

Test #2.
Start PA (pulseaudio --start --log-level=4 --log-time=true \
 --log-target=newfile:palog1.txt)

The trace 'palog1.txt' starts.
Attach. psax3.txt
Start LOI
Open W
Attach. 'psax4.txt'
SOUND (from 'watermelons.pps' playing).  Good.
Stop LOI (after approx. 10 sec.).
Attach. 'psax5.txt'
Kill PA. (the trace, 'palog1.txt' closes)
Attach. 'palog1.txt'
Attach. 'psax6.txt'

FINAL COMMENTS
Please note again that WITHOUT PA running 'watermelons.pps' is SILENT.
WITH PA running 'watermelons.pps' SOUNDS.

I cannot explain how and why.
Can you?

Thanks,
-- Alex
