I used to use this to wake me up (Modify to suit your tastes!)

#/bin/sh

aumix -w 10
aumix -v 10

ogg123 -qz ~/Music/Vivaldi\,\ Antonio/The\ Four\ Seasons\ and\ Violin\ Concertos/*flac &

for vol in `seq 1 9` 
do
        aumix -w +10
        aumix -v +10
        sleep 5
done
## End of Script ##

Save it as wakeup.sh

 and 

at -f wakeup.sh now+5 hours

or 

at -f wakeup.sh 5am 
(man at for more funky time options)

You can do the whole volume thing with negative values and longer sleeps to
create a lullaby.sh script
