The correct way to allow configuration, IMHO, is to use Pulse Audio's module-x11-bell. It can be turned on and off at will just by loading and unloading that module. module-x11-bell is loaded *by default* in Lucid, so it's ready to be used in all it's configurable glory. But metacity traps system bell events and keeps Pulse Audio from seeing them. This patch would remove this trapping and *allow configuration* through Pulse Audio. It would also ensure that both metacity and compiz use the same system for ringing the bell. It doesn't completely solve the bug, but it gets us significantly closer. -- System beep broken in Karmic despite heroic efforts to fix it https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/486154 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
