Not sure that is the correct term, but what i want for a university
open day very soon is a program/scipt/whatever that allows me to play
a soundfile of a piece, and while it is playing display a screen of
text or similar (pdf?).  When the music finishes, a new piece and text
starts, repeat ad nausiam.

I suppose  could codge something from csound+api but surely someone
must have solved this already?  And the first open day is very soon
and i am struggling to complete the interactive demos.

Oh, and I forgot, I only have linux computers

I would use open office presentation or power point for such a thing,
you could put a timer on each page so that it changes after the piece
has finished. As far as I know you can also embed audio into pdfs.
Finally, a simple solution would be to create a simple webpage with
links to individual pages that contain the audio and text. When the
piece finishes the user can simply navigate back to the home page and
select a different piece.

Thanks Rory; the problem I have I think is that I want something tht runs
without intervention, mainly fot when I am taking a break from
interaction.
Will look at timers on presentations.  I have never used presentatuon, and
only one tried powerpoint (a total disaster!)

Isn't there a way of embedding audio into a latex presentation? Do you
have many to do?

I hate to mention this, but this sounds like a simple Karaoke solution.
You could implement the text in a Karaoke midi file and let the midi file
trigger the csound stuff...

I would make a video file out of each piece and put them in a
playlist. It's a piece of cake to export a QuickTime video out of
apple's PowerPoint, maybe open office also offers this?
