Folding alarms together still has the questions I described above -- if
two alarms with different sounds kick at the same time, which sound
should play?

Need better usability when two alarms kick at the same time

Bug description:
A cousin of bug #1354406
Some of the early testers are hitting a use case that we didn't
account for, that of multiple alarms set for the same time.
Indicator-datetime currently tries to pull up notifications for, and
play sounds for, both notifications. That's happening by accident and
is clearly not the right approach.
I can think of a couple of approaches we might take:
(1) Queue the alarms such that only one triggers at a time. This has
the advantage of being simple, both in concept and in code. I'm not
certain this is the most user-friendly approach, as it could be
frustrating have to dismiss a queue of alarms.
(2) Somehow fold multiple alarms together. This has the advantage of
being friendlier to the user as only a single snooze/dismiss prompt
would be given. However it opens other questions, e.g. which of the
alarms' sounds should play?
Of these two I slghtly prefer (1) for its simplicity; however, neither
of these options seems perfect and I'm hoping Design may have a better
suggestion
