Adding Sounds

If a .WAV file named 'alert.wav' is placed in the directory of the executable it will be played when the timer elapses.

Currently there's no .MP3 support to keep the footprint low (playing .WAVs requires no aux libraries and has no dependencies to the Windows Media Player API like the WPF MediaElement)

To get the application's directory, open the application, then launch the Windows Task Manager, switch to the 'Processes' tab, right-click 'Bildschirmpause.exe' and left-click 'Open File Location'. Place your .WAV there.
