I wish to state that this problem persists in Ubuntu 10.04. "beep -e
/dev/input/by-path/platform-pcspkr-event-spkr" doesn't work, even when I
added "rmmod pcspkr || true / modprobe pcspkr || true" to /etc/rc.local
and rebooted. (See
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/398161). It's very
annoying because beeping is an essential part of my bash scripts as a
notification to the user and I don't know of any alternative, except
playing something with totem, which isn't an ideal solution.
