Topic: Is two alarms at the same time possible?

With my old Panasonic clock radio, I could set the alarm (buzzer) and the radio to come on at the same time. When awake from the sound of the buzzer, I could then turn off the buzzer, while the radio continued to play.

I've tried setting up two custom alarms at the same time with the Chumby One, one with the buzzer sound, and another with the shoutcast radio.
What happens is the buzzer plays, but the radio doesn't. It shows a kind of semi-transparent "Alarm Off/Snooze screen" with my clock widget partially viewable in the background. What I want to be able to do is dismiss the buzzer of the first, while my radio continues to play. Is it possible?

Re: Is two alarms at the same time possible?

Setting two alarms of any type at the same time creates problems.
I sort of knew that already but forgot about it. I was reminded of it this morning, though. I was home late last night, so set a one-off alarm for this morning at 10 am. I had forgotten that I also have an every day alarm to send Chumby into Night Mode at 10 am. Result: Night mode, no alarm.
If you set the alarms one minute apart, all is fine, but I doubt that you could ever get the Chumby to play two different audio sources simultaneously. You'd have to set the buzzer to go off one minute before the radio.
