Comment 1 for bug 750464

That's muted by pulseaudio since it is incredibly annoying ;-)

It is too late in the cycle to consider now, but I'm wondering about
the feasibility of collecting that beep sound as an X event (it does
come through as one, believe it or not) and converting it to a system
sound via libcanberra through either notify osd or compiz.
