I have a theme song wav file I like to use for alarms that is 45sec long.  This works for me if I'm in another room and especially if I am  asleep bc I've trained myself to wake up if I hear this tune.

The calendar custom alarm cuts off the sound after about 5 secs which is not enough time for me to hear it and wake up.  Repeating the sound will not help bc it will be just 5 sec long ie, one soft note over and over again.

This seems like a simple thing to fix and if I was a programmer I'd do it myself but...  alas...  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a custom sound file that is longer than about 5 secs.
2. Set a calendar or task reminder.
3. Hear how the sound gets cut off
Actual Results:  
Sound gets cut off at about 5 secs.

Expected Results:  
Played the entire sound file.
