I believe this is inaccurate.
I think what happens is the second alarm triggers while the 1st is still
running. When this happens, the 2nd alarm has the effect of stopping the
running one.

So the -quite- inelegant but, I think, effective solution is to pile up
3 alarms:
1- Silent at t-3
2- False start at t-1
3- Real alarm at t0
(perhaps t-2, t0 and t0 would also work, I'm not sure)

I have no doubt the alarm function is very complicated, as bpa
mentions.

Recently I needed an alarm launched from cron and not from LMS, I used
the squeezy perl CLI in a shell script. The script was a bit complicated
but I managed to regroup players and make them fade-in over 5 minutes by
directly stepping the volume controls, all via the LMS CLI. A plugin
would have been better, of course.
