Thanks to John's excellent suggestion about aplay on the command line, I have now been able to make the clock work on 10.10 and SimplyMEPIS8.5 without any apparent trouble. However, there may be some holes in the Mono implementation used by 10.04 that result in unreliability when initiating a thread from a timer handler(which is allowed, even mandatory, in the original dot net). I will check which Mono versions are being used by 10.10 and 10.04 to confirm.
