I don´t think, that this is "official" in sense of approved by TDF
or the TDF community.

This sounds odd to me, personally.

The following sounds almost like the one I am used to:
http://translate.google.com/#fr|en|LiebreOffice

Yes, I would agree.

I am not sure, if there is really a need for an official
pronunciation. This is a free project. Every participant is free to
pronounce it the way she/he likes. For me, there is nothing wrong
with different pronunciation by people with different native tongue.

IMO,
http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/faq/general-faq/how-do-you-pronounce-libreoffice/
should be changed, in order to express that ther is no wrong or right.
