I'm not sure about the alix board in particular, but I used to always
just echo a bell character (<ctrl>-G) to the terminal.  The Alix docs
mention the buzzer driver logic is unpopulated by default on some
boards...did you add that (or verify it's there)?

I couldn't (quickly) find a full data-sheet on the CS5536 (the
'companion' device on the Alix board that generates the beep signal),
but the 'overview' sheet lists legacy PC audio beep support, along with
AC97 codec support, so I suspect the beep program (and most any other
linux "beep the PC speaker" utility) /should/ work.

You might also make sure the PC speaker device is enabled in the kernel,
I haven't played with recent LEAF kernels enough to know if it's
compiled in, a module, or just not there.  If you're missing the kernel
module, that could explain why you only get sound at power-on (from the
BIOS).
