I know this is a rather old thread, but as was f*cked up by the radio
sometimes waking me up with the default sound rather then my chosen one
i searched for a solution. Here it is:

- active remote login on the radio/box (in settings)
- ssh to your box (user: root pw: 1234[can be changed])
- default sound is in /usr/share/jive/applets/AlarmSnooze/alarm.mp3
- you can adjust the alarm behaviour (f.e. volume) by manipulating the
AlarmSnoozeApplet.lua file in the same directory 
- change the name of the alarm.mp3 in line 43:
self.alarmTone = "applets/AlarmSnooze/myalarm.mp3"
- slow down fadein speed in line 453:
self.fadeInTimer = Timer(800,
- set maxVolume in line 455
if self.alarmVolume < 30 then
- provide a myalarm.mp3

If you still want to use you serversound you should adjust line 813
like this (normal wait for server is only 20s):
local rtcSleepMsecs = interval + 300000
But to be honest, the whole code looks rather strange to me. From a
quick look it seem to work like this:
- normally the server alarms the client to wakeup
- at some point someone added code to have a local timer as fallback,
which is complete independent from server
- so the local fallback alarm fires away when it's RTC timer reached
alarm time (+20s, so the server can fire first)
- when the server fires, the fallback alarm is interupted

If my assumptions are correct, this code smells, as a local RTC will
run out of sync with servertime quiet fast.

My advice: 
- either forget the server for wakeup and just use your custom
fallback sound (with the method provided here) by setting a playlist
for wakeup and then deleting the playlist on the server (this is what i
do now)
or 
- set the rtcSleepMsecs to +300000 (5min) and set your alarms 5
minutes earlier (as the fallback will now wait 5 minutes before firing
up).

DO ON YOU OWN RISK, BUT CHANGES WILL BE LOST WHEN YOU FACTORY RESET THE
BOX!
SO DON'T PANIC ,-)


Have fun...

Btw: all the natures sounds etc. seem to be hosted on
mysqueezebox.com(at least i was unable to find them anywhere on my
systems. So be carefull using these as they will probably not be
reliable).
