Bug Description
The default alarm sound is hard coded, why not provide a setting for it?
I am much more likely to pick a new default alarm than set it on a per alarm basis.

As per the conversation below with pat, I am marking this bug invalid. We can reopen it if when we get more insight on how to proceed.
<nik90> pmcgowan: Do you expect the default alarm sound to be localized to the clock app? There are 2 sides to this. Indicator-datetime sets the default alarm sound which will be used by *all* apps.
<nik90> pmcgowan: I could expose a settings in the clock app to set the default alarm sound. But do you want that to override system-wide or just within the clock app?
<pmcgowan> nik90, hmm I didn't realize it was a system level setting, one sec
<pmcgowan> nik90, but the alarm sounds are not exposed anywhere it seems
<nik90> pmcgowan: the indicator-datetime exposes that via dbus to the clock app. https:/
<pmcgowan> nik90, seems sound settings should support this then
<nik90> pmcgowan: hmm I suppose then the system-settings app can provide that settings option to change the default alarm sound which can the be respected by the clock app automatically.
<pmcgowan> nik90, that seems correct to me, I wonder if the design already includes this
<nik90> pmcgowan: however there are drawbacks to this approach though. If the user sets a long custom sound as the default alarm sound in the system-settings app, then the calendar events will also use that sound since we're overriding it system-wide.
<pmcgowan> nik90, to me events not equal alarms, they are two different roles
<pmcgowan> nik90, so we have no control of this today, I will enter a different bug them, you can mark that one invalid
<nik90> pmcgowan: true, I suppose then the calendar-app should take note and set a separate sound for events.
<nik90> pmcgowan: ok
