  If you want to change the alarm ringtone, you can set:
  ringtone_alarm = "file:///some/where/file.ext"
- in ~/.zavai/config
+ in ~/.zavai/config; gstreamer is used, so mostly any audio file format will
+ work. I'm not sure what will happen if you choose a video format: that might
+ work as well.
 
  Alarms (acknowledged or not) are logged in "~/.zavai/log-alarm/". Still
  missing, howerver, is a way to show that an alarm rang and noone noticed.
