The problem with this approach is that current OpenOffice versions
(at least up to 1.3- not sure about 2.0) always save a lot of junk
into the SWF file, not just the slides- empty frames between slides,
ActionScript code for browsing etc.
This makes it, at best, tricky to simply add something to those SWFs.
A better approach might be to save the slides as pdf, convert them
to swf using pdf2swf, and then use swfc to add the audio.
