If it is a .wav or .mp3 you will see its animation settings on the animation
pane. Then you can do a select all on the slide to find the 'speaker' icon.
If it is a .swf/flash file, it does not show up in the animation pane and
you need to search slide-by-slide.

I personally use RNR's Fix Links pro to generate a report of all the
multimedia in a presentation, that among other things tells you exactly what
slide the multimedia element is on. There is a free, but uncertain of its
capabilities. http://www.rdpslides.com/pptools/fixlinks/index.html
