I'd like to be able to make the n900 howl on command
(from a Python script).
Say my script (running in the background) receives
word that a tornado is approaching - n900, sound the
alarm!
I'm not sure Maemo alarm-clock or ring-tone modules
will be of much help.
I'm looking at the APIs for alsa and pulseaudio;
python also has audio modules, which may better suit
me.

Maybe someone familiar with simple ways to sound a
loud n900 alarm, can point these out, giving me a head-start.
