Btw, I just verified that the missing system bell is -not- coming out of either the line-out or the center-out jacks on my motherboard; I hooked up speakers and verified that both jacks give output when I play a random audio file through mplayer, but the missing system bell isn't there.
Oddly enough, just "beep" with no arguments now -does- give a system beep (whether or not I have anything plugged into a jack), as does the prior call with -e dev/input/by-path/platform-pcspkr-event-spkr. I looked in ...by-path and event-spkir is still a symlink to event5, so I'm not sure how beep is currently working with no arg or the original arg. The machine's been up now for 4 days 14 hours, so I'm not even sure it's been rebooted since the last time I checked this. But yet everything else that should beep---^G in Emacs, echo -a '\a' in bash, rubout at an empty line in gnome-terminal---still fails to give any indication of beepingness. This regression is currently a blocker for my moving to Karmic; does anyone have any ideas for other things I can check?
