I'm a fan. More bandwidth from vim to me is always good.  But people wanting to 
turn off beeps from vim are very vocal, those wanting to turn them on are not.

I got used to relying on beeps using vi on dumb terminals for many years, and 
using vim with GTK with random DEs getting any kind of beep with vim proved 
very hit or miss, and losing the beep after some kind of upgrade happened a 
lot.  So I learned about libcanberra, and my vim gives me a 100 ms cowbell.  
It's only about 15 lines of C.  Managing (choosing, distributing) the sound 
files would be a far larger task than the code I imagine.

I've no idea about libcanberra on MS Windows.
