Oh yea I forgot to mention... somewhere in one of the last releases I turned on the setting to make the alarms appear in the task bar... unfortunately there's no way to control which application gets launched when you click that task bar icon, so the default "clock" app always loads up and shows no alarms (since flipclock alarms don't count as "clock" alarms). So in one sense it's pretty pointless... but on the other hand, it does at least act as a way of reminding you that you have an alarm set...

Nelson, sounds like either a really short sound file or a file that gstreamer can't play for whatever reason, as you discovered already. I make no guarantees about compatibility of sound files for it, so while it's not the expected behaviour I'm not going to consider that a flaw/bug with flipclock itself... if you find a common trait between the songs that don't work though let me know I can try to see if there are any known bugs/workarounds for gstreamer...

Didge, that's a bit odd that it went off early... could be a leftover alarm from a previous setting or something maybe? One of the last things I'm going to cram into the next release will be a hidden "factory default alarms" feature that will clear up any flipclock alarms that have been set, either from current install or any in the past, just to make sure as I'm sure a few of you who have been playing around with the various versions might have one or two that have gotten lost track of but that still ring...
Didge, let me know if that happens again or if it was a one off...
