I run simple scripts when building LFS that sound a beep to draw my attention at completion or errors. Unfortunately, alsa interrupts echo -e "\a" so I must disable alsa on my host. That works, but there's probably a better way so I don't lose sound while building LFS. How can I execute "echo -e "\a" with alsa enabled?
I've tried snd-pcsp, snd_dummy, and a beep utility without success. I'm probably missing something simple. How can I sound a beep when building LFS with alsa enabled?
Playing a sound file with mpg123 would be an acceptable alternative, which I do when building BLFS. But how when I'm building LFS? I've tried linking host programs with no success.
