Thanks a lot so far.
So the concept could be:
use as many software as possible from the lenny armel pool, that would be:
-ntp (or some other time syncing tool)
-ogg123 (for ogg playback)
-nfs (for mounting the music-dir from the server)

and a Programm, which:
- displays the time (optional date and forthcomming alarm timers)
- syncs time once a day/week (sunday 3:30 AM, to catch 1-hour time drift at daylightsaving). With switching off WiFi after sync.
- at wakeup time, turns on WiFi, mount the nfs dir, starts playing music with increasing loudnes (via shellscript perhaps), which stops/delays, when pressing a specific Button (OK perhaps, easyest to find blindly..). When stoped umounts nfs dir, switch of WiFi.

Most time consuming: learning C/C++ (to me. Just used shell scripts so far)

Oh, there is a clock on the PB already. Any idea, if that is GPL code?
