Technically this is not hard to do, it just hasn't been done yet. All
you need is a wav file with the sound you want to play (it can't be too
big) and a fairly small change to the alarm code, which makes it play
the wav file through the effects channel. 

This would be a nice first time project for someone that wants to learn
squeezeplay programming. Any volunteers?

There are two "gotchas":
1) the internal speaker is not very loud, it was designed for UI beeps
not waking someone out of a deep sleep.

2) this only works for alarms setup on the Touch itself. My
understanding is that there are alarms on the Touch (you set them
through the touch screen) and server alarms set from the web UI. The
above mentioned easy implementation is only going to work for the
internal Touch alarms. This situation may have changed, there has been
a LOT of work going on in regards to syncing alarms so MAYBE a server
alarm could triger an alarm on the Touch, but I'm not sure.
