I found this page
http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/faq/general-faq/how-do-you-prono
unce-libreoffice/ that link to Google translate to provide the
(official?) pronouncement.

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

http://translate.google.com/#fr|en|LibreOffice

This sounds odd to me, personally.

to me as well..

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

my favorite:
http://translate.google.com/#fr|de|LiebreOffice
which I assume is most close to the intended marriage between the
french libre and the english office in my opinion.

I'm quite surprised with it. I thought it is ˈlɪbə as in "liberty"
orlbr as in http://www.thefreedictionary.com/vers+libre
So actually it is ˈliːbreɪ as in
http://es.thefreedictionary.com/libre , right?

Yes, I would agree.

Quite close I think.

It would be nice if someone could provide an official pronouncement
sound file on the LibreOffice website (and phonetic, for the
literate).

I think this is kind of good Idea..

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.

I'd rather think of a *proposal* file which has been approved by simple
voting on this list.

I agree there should not be any official "pressure" of pronunciaton, but
I think it couldn't harm to have a proposal sound file for those who
look for advice or - in this case - look for a way writing LibreOffice
in their native language at all.

I think overruling things and help to find a consensus to understand
each other must not be mistaken.
