Nope. It's done through alsa. When it shows up ever so briefly in
pavucontrol it says:
ALSA plug-in [metacity]
Unfortunately it doesn't hang around long enough to get a handle on the
slider.
Then the code in metacity should probably be updated to either:
a) Use libcanberra and trigger either "bell-terminal" or
"bell-window-system" sound events (recommended)
b) Export an env var to set media.role=event prior to calling doing
it's ASLA stuff.
(although the generic problem of short sound events still remains as
noted elsewhere in this thread - although as stated short sounds are
99.999% of the time "events" anyway.
