For the alarm, I just did some testing: it seems atd behaves as it
should, and since the phone unsuspends on time, I decided to play
around a bit. So I created a shell script:
----------------------
#!/bin/sh
# unsuspend
echo "0" >/sys/devices/platform/neo1973-pm-gsm.0/flowcontrolled
# let unsuspend sink in a bit
sleep 15
# now play a sound
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/Trolltech/Qtopia/lib/
/opt/Trolltech/Qtopia/bin/mediaplayer /opt/Trolltech/Qtopia/sounds/alarm.wav
&
# sleep 5 secs and play it again
sleep 5
/opt/Trolltech/Qtopia/bin/mediaplayer /opt/Trolltech/Qtopia/sounds/alarm.wav
&
# remove it from spool dir, so it won't launch again
rm $0
--------------------

Then I copied this script to /var/spool/at, renamed it to the time I
want it to start (perl is your friend here to convert time to epoch
seconds) and triggered at (echo >>/var/spool/at/trigger).
Now I let my phone suspend, and on the time I want it, the phone
unsuspends, waits exactly 15 secs (scripted) and then plays the wav
files as intended.
So this leads me to believe that the method used in the alarm clock
is either broken or not adjusted to work with later qtopia versions.
