Spot on! I used the top search box on page from your second link, and 
the first search result contained the answer! Here is a direct link to 
the tip required to add background music to a slide show presentation in OO.

<http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/FAQ/Impress/I_inserted_a_song_in_my_presentation,_but_when_I_change_slide_the_music_stops._How_do_I_play_music_throughout_a_presentation%3F>

Thanks for the help, even though I'm not the OP for this question it was 
something I was also wondering how to do.

Later, Ray Parrish
