Our application works with the Calendar database directly adding, updating,
and deleting items.
One possible approach is to add the items using the Exchange Manager,
and possibly the PDI library as well. The vCalendar standard allows you
to set alarms; the following is excerpted from the standard:
.1 Audio Reminder
This property is identified by the property name *AALARM*. The property
defines an audio reminder for the vCalendar entity. An audio reminder is
an alarm that is sounded for the event.
The value for the audio reminder consists of the *Run Time*, or the date
and time that the reminder is to be executed; *Snooze Time*, or the
duration of time after the Run Time that the reminder is to be dormant
prior to being repeated; *Repeat Count*, or the number of times that the
reminder is to be repeated; and the *Audio Content*, or the digital
sound to be played when the reminder is executed.
The following are some examples of this property:
AALARM;TYPE=WAVE;VALUE=URL:19960415T235959; ; ; file:///mmedia/taps.wav
AALARM;TYPE=WAVE;VALUE=CONTENT-ID:19960903T060000;PT15M;4;<jsmith.part2.=

The key question is whether Date Book/Calendar will do what you want
when you hand it a vCalendar event using the Exchange Manager -- it
might recalculate its alarms, it might not.
