Hello, I've been trying to figure out how to have a console beep (or whatever the beep that comes out of the PC speaker is called - whatever "xset b" changes) play a wav through my soundcard instead of beeping the PC speaker. The box is running FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE (RELENG_4_3 as of this week, actually) with X 4.0.3 + Gnome/Enlightenment and has a Creative SB512 which is working fine for every sound app I've tried. The only kernel config change I made for the soundcard was to add "device pcm." I didn't specify any additional bridging drivers or anything. I haven't been able to find any hints about this anywhere online, including the mailing list archives, but I can't imagine it isn't something other people have wanted to do. What I'm trying to accomplish is to get alarms in an HP OpenView map that currently beep the PC speaker to play a wav file through the soundcard that we can amplify and hear through the entire office - but I'd also like anything else that causes a console beep to do the same. I assume that the same mechanism that'd capture/redirect the console beep would catch that, but I can't figure out how to do it! If anyone has any ideas, or knows somewhere that I could look/ask, your input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, -- Luke Rider ICQ UIN 3970769 luke@r-t-f-m.net Finger for PGP key.
