Sorry, I probably should have been a bit more specific... Obviously you need the XMMS player installed to use this. ( sudo apt-get install xmms xmms-alarm )

1) To set up the plugin, go to Options >> Preferences in xmms (from the xmms right-click menu ). 
2) Choose General Plugins, and you should see Alarm 0.3.6 listed. 
3) Highlight this entry and choose "configure". This brings up a tabbed dialog where you can set your alarm options.
