Bug Description

A "normal" task (not set for "alarm mode") honors the notification volume. And if the ringer is set to vibrate (using volume hardware down, which sets both notification and ringer volume to zero), then Astrid will vibrate three times. This is fabulous!

An "alarm mode" task does the same thing, with one side effect: It changes the alarm volume to max. It doesn't actually use the alarm volume, but it does modify it.

Problem:
(1) Astrid should use the Alarm Volume for tasks that are marked as "Alarm Mode" -- and *only* those tasks.
(2) Astrid should definitely *not* change the alarm volume. The last thing I need is an app that changes the volume from the level that *I* chose to set. And when going into a meeting, movie, etc, I certainly can't check up on dozens of tasks to see if any of them might go off during the event. An app that changes the volume has got it backwards: the user is in charge of the volume! (Thanks for reading I feel better. :-)
(3) Note: If the Alarm Volume is zero, be sure to use the vibrate feature instead. Thanks!

Astrid 2.11.1.
Sumsung Moment S:M900.8.OS.CL14 (android 1.5 kernel 2.6.27)

Steps to reproduce the problem:
(1) Set the Alarm Volume to zero; set the Notification Volume to a low volume (nearly zero but not quite).
(2) Create a task with "Alarm Mode" Checked.
(3) Wait for the task to come due.
Problem: Alarm Mode is changed to max; the task uses the notification volume.
