  It is possible to set an alarm, which will be shown in the alarm window. When
  the alarm expires, the phone wakes up if it is suspended, and zavai vibrates,
  turns on baclight, shows a big ACK button and flashes the AUX led for 30
- seconds.
+ seconds. It also plays some music.
 
  You can use the big button on screen or the AUX button to acknowledge the
  alarm and stop all the attention-seeking activities.
  
- When I'll implement some audio playing infrastructure, I'll implement playing
- an audio file as well.
+ If you want to change the alarm ringtone, you can set:
+ ringtone_alarm = "file:///some/where/file.ext"
+ 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.
