I have a PowerPoint Presentation that contains .wav files in the MPEG Layer 3 format. This will be widely distributed, will this codec be a problem or, should I use the PCM codec????

MPEG Layer 3 is better known as mp3, the format Napster go into trouble with. Does that help clear things up a bit?

It is also possible to have .wav files with .mp3 compression. This uses the standard windows ACM to decode the file and should not be a problem for people to playback.
