Disable sound

[David McFarlane]

Ways to "disable" a SoundSlide on a Slide:

1) Use a sound file of nothing but silence.  (Might as well also make 
that a short sound file, say, 1 ms.)

2) Set sound Volume Control to -10000 (see SoundBuffer.Volume topic 
in the E-Basic Help facility).  (And please do that using an 
attribute reference in the object's Property Pages!)

2) Create a duplicate SlideState on the Slide, and on the duplicate 
SlideState remove the SoundSlide sub-object.  Then use an attribute 
reference in ActiveState, and using inline code (or whatever) set the 
attribute to the sound-disabled SlideState.

I think the first method is fairly popular and straightforward.  I 
don't know how well the second method works.  Of these three, I think 
I prefer the third.
