Bug Description

I am running Alarm Clock 1.2.5 on the latest Alpha of Ubuntu 10.04. I have added a single repeating alarm with a custom sound. The alarm starts but displays a dialog with "Too many sounds" (will attach screen shot) Also the Alarm Icon in the notification area does not flash and so I cannot cancel the alarm sounds.

I was getting old alarms not being shown because it appears that the old config files (without the .conf) were being loaded but would not display in the interface (not sure if I should log this as a separate bug?). I removed all the config files and created new config files from scratch (which I have attached)

I get the same alert as xrayA4T. It was working fine in 9.10 and 9.04. Started acting up after I upgraded to 10.04.

I receive the same thing.
I created a single, non-repeating event. The sound was set to continuous volume for 1 minute.
As soon as the event fires the too many sounds alert appears.
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with current updates

This error message is shown only when there is another sound playing in background. Can you see the "Stop" on the main window? If so, then it seems that Alarm Clock was unable to properly shut down alarm that played previously. I'll take a look into this bug.

I have the same problem, I'm running the latest version 1.4.1 for Ubuntu.
Another thing is that I use the "Show dialog window during event" and when the alarm goes off, two windows show... besides the "too many sounds" error

I had this problem with a new install of alarm clock under 10.04, and clicked the "stop" button - then the problem went away.

I see all of these symptoms on 10.10, except: the "Too many sounds" alert shows when *any* other sound is playing, but only when using a custom sound file (mp3 in my case). All alarm sounds do play successfully.
