[Xastir] Feature tweak? proximity sound alerts.

[J. Lance Cotton]

My solution to the proximity sound constantly going off was to replace 
whatever sound it was with a very short, sharp sound. Now my computer does a 
little pop/click sound which I don't find annoying. (Of course Festival 
speaks the callsign and distance right after that... my computer's always 
talking to me.)

But it would be nifty, and probably easy to have different kinds of proximity 
alerts. Say have several alarms for each of mobiles, stationary, direct, 
digipeated, tnc, internet, etc.)
