That would mean loosing the alarms every time the event is edited over active-
sync, so we need some way to preserve all alarms including type. So I would 
suggest to just show DISPLAY alarms, and possibly convert AUDIO alarms to 
DISPLAY alarms as well (though in a way that you can convert back when the 
event is edited), and ignoring EMAIL alarms, while preserving all information 
about the alarms (so you're able to convert back). Is that possible?

Cheers,
Christian
