I feel for the poor NOC engineers at my colo that freak out when some random server in a farm of thousands starts making bizarre sounds. I detest test_winsound. There are so many corner cases you need to account for that makes the test pointless as you end up wrapping everything in except: pass blocks. Does the system have a legacy beep driver? Is it enabled? Is it disabled? Is there a sound card? Is it enabled or disabled? Pah! +1 to removing audio out of -uall, if only for the sake of cats, erroneously red buildbots, and poor ServerCentral NOC engineers.
