There are 2 ways I found to easily embed a sound into html:

Easiest is:
<embed src="sound.wav"
autostart="true"
loop="true"
hidden="true">
</embed>

Obviously you would probably want to set loop=false

Another way is:
<object id="MediaPlayer" width="0" height="0"
classid="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95"
codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=6,0,02,902"
<param name="FileName" value="sound.wav">
<param name="autoStart" value="1">
<param name="loop" value="1">
<param name=hidden value="1">
<param name="showControls" value="0">
<embed src="sound.wav" autostart="true" loop="true" hidden="true">
</embed>
</object>

If there could be found a way to include an "alarm.html" with this code 
in it whenever an event turned red, it should produce the desired 
results (the blue disable dot would remove the html so no more alarm 
upon refresh)...it would also have to only be included for the normal 
red status (not the red check = acked alert).

Note I have not implemented this, just throwing out some ideas in case 
you or Henrik want to do the mod yourself.
