It occurred to me today, as I was finally able to load my audio file to this blog, that another use for audio files might come from students rather than the teacher.
I have students in my class for whom English is a their second or third language. I also have a student who has a diagnosed learning difference that make it physically difficult for him to write legibly. Perhaps if I allowed these and other students to create audio files as part of their presentations it would allow them to spend more time on expressing their learning and less time on the process of writing well. In the past I have had student who had difficulty writing and allowed them to tape their answers to questions and then write them out afterwards. Perhaps making mp3 files is just a more modern day version of the same thing.
(This gives me another new thing to try that I believe to be a sound pedagogical practice as well as a good way to get technology into the classroom).

PP makes it pretty easy to add narration to slides. Check it out directly from within the regular s/w program.
