[Charles Bacon]

Here's my solution: crontab, a tiny shell script, and a suitable .au
file for /dev/au.

----- Add to your .crontab if you have one, otherwise invent your own -----
# Sample crontab entry fires off the cuckoo clock once per hour, exc. at night.
0 8-22 * * * "/home/crtb/music/sounds/cuckoo.clock"

----- copy this along with cuckoo.au into your own bin directory -----
#!/bin/sh
# Play the cuckoo clock for the most recent hour
hr=`date "+%l"`;
while [ $hr -gt 0 ] ; do
    cat ~/bin/cuckoo.au > /dev/audio
    hr=`expr $hr - 1`
done
