Thanks for all the feedback and pointer to bugzilla!

From the bugzilla bug, it seems the consensus is to use evolution to
call rhythmbox to play a song.  However, I doubt that everyone can/wants
to fire up the evolution beast just for a simple alarm clock...I know I
don't.

My plan is to have a GUI similar to xmms-alarm...there will be an alarm
time you can set for each day of the week (Sun through Sat).  Once that
is complete, I'll likely polish it up and release for you alarm-hungry
people.  Future features include gradual volume increasing (so its not
such an abrupt wakeup), a visual indicator on the main window showing
the alarm is set, and perhaps customizing exactly what song/playlist you
want the alarm to trigger.
