I just filed bug #769314, which I believe addresses the same problems. See that bug for the full details, but the short version is:

- gnome-volume-control assumes Metacity is controlling the system bell. When Compiz is running, it does nothing.

- Pulse Audio could produce a sound for system bell events, via module-x11-bell, but it is misconfigured.

- The PC speaker is blocked by the blacklisting of pcspkr, the X bell volume being 0, and module-x11-bell being loaded.

IMHO, Compiz is doing the right thing by not handling the system bell. These other components should be fixed and made to work together, and the system bell would be window-manager-agnostic.
