I noticed some interesting stuff this morning. Normally I always set my alarms to go off at 5:33am. For this test I set flipclock to 6:10. Ironically. it still went off at 5:33 and then it went off at 6:10. Both times working perfectly. Clearly this is not right since there is not a way to set more than one alaram per day from the flipclock menu. So I deleted /var/lib/alaram/*queue and all the .flipclock* stuff in ~/. I am guessing that somehow 2 flipclock instances have been trying to run at the same time at 5:33? Perhaps that could explain why the audio cuts out completely sometimes, either with the maemo alarm or flipclock.
