Topic: Choose alarm audio output?

Hello,
I want to attach permanently a chumby to an audio amplifier but i don't want to keep it always powered.
In this configuration, I can only use the "backup alarm": a loud snooze.
I would be in a better mood if i were waked up by some music.
Is there a way to choose the audio output of the alarm?

Thank you for the e-mail. This functionality is actually done purposely in case someone leaves their headphones plugged in, the alarm will still wake them up in the morning. If you have a set of auxiliary speakers plugged in, I can imagine this may create a kind of echo sound that is annoying, but the unit is not able to differentiate between a headphone and non headphone plug. I apologize for any inconvenience.

Idea is clear, but we would like some software functionality which allows us to completely disable internal Chumby speakers.
