--- Comment #1 from David Jarvie <djar...@kde.org> ---
I wonder if this problem is a KAlarm bug, or something else. I don't see why
the screen lock status would have any effect on alarms being triggered. To
check this, could you please try two things: 

1) Set up a KAlarm command alarm which triggers at the same time as your audio
command alarm, and which does something not audio related - for example writing
something to a file. Check whether this runs successfully after the screen
locks. Ideally, make a command alarm which first writes to a file and then
plays the audio file. You can then see if the alarm has triggered, and whether
only the audio part fails.

2) Set up a little script which executes a "sleep" for long enough for the bug
to occur, and then executes the same command as the KAlarm alarm. Execute the
script in a terminal window (not in KAlarm) and leave it running. Check whether
it plays the audio file after your screen has locked.

On a separate note, can you please raise a separate bug report about KAlarm no
longer playing audio files other than .ogg ones, and attach an example of an
audio file which does not work. Mention any error messages which are shown.
This isn't something which has previously been reported.
