More detail:
My alarm was set to go off at 8:00am.
In "Alarms Set" screen Mode = "sound", set for "loop", snooze=off.
FlipClock was not even running, not minimized. It runs when there is an alarm condition.
I think it's to do with the looping code... although why I've run into it I'm not sure, but it's definitely a gstreamer odd ball problem. I've made some changes in the SVN here to try and solve it and will let you know after I test it over the weekend. In the mean time, try it with the "loop" option turned off (i.e. set to "once") and see if that solves the locking up problem.

Thanks!
