alarm thru sound card or bulid in speaker on server

ZM can play an alarm sound but only through the web interface and only when monitoring a camera. However it should be a fairly trivial task write a script maybe by adapting one of the ZM scripts which checks the shared memory status or event count and making that do something, or but just calling zmu to check the status.

run mplayer to play sound on alarm
