Excuse the terse rsponse, I am on n900 over 'borrowed' wifi.

To put it simply you would need to use a script triggered by dbus. You need to use either dbus-scripts, dbuscron or a custom script with some kind of loop and dbus-monitor. When your script intercepts the 'sms received' dbus message it needs to use awk, sed, grep, etc to alter the config file for a given profile. So, populate list of folder of random sounds then replace reference to sound in profile config.
