[Robert Zeller]

If you want to run the slide show just on your computer, having
installed a web server like apache, or on an external webserver, then
you could use jalbum (jalbum.net) together with the "Fotoplayer" plugin.
This is free software and has almost all the features you want,
including audio files. It is almost ideal for producing web
presentations of photos.
