Some additional information.

In the patch to /usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/wily/pulseaudio/wily/view/head:/debian/patches/0006-load-module-x11-bell.patch

line #9 should say "sample=x11-bell", rather than "sample=bell.ogg".

One additional change is needed to /etc/pulse/default.pa: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/wily/pulseaudio/wily/view/head:/src/daemon/default.pa.in

line #29 should be uncommented, to load an audio file as a sample named "x11-bell".

Note that line #178 in the same file would use the "x11-bell" sample name: however it should NOT be uncommented, as explained in comments right above. module-x11-bell will be loaded by X running the /usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11 command, via /etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop .
