Comment 7 for bug 489855

[If you're happy with the data I attached, can someone please mark this as something other than "Incomplete" so it won't vanish? Thanks.]

I now think that this bug might not implicate X, or it might be a bad interaction where X's bell event is being mishandled by gnome/metacity/pulseaudio. Please see bug #486154, comment #8, for details.

(Note that that comment points out that I am still seeing what I believe to be a very longstanding bug in which "xset b volume pitch duration" is being incorrectly processed as "xset b duration pitch duration"; should I open a new bug on this? I note bug #280767, opened a year ago, reports this, and it even got action last week, but that action was to say that this behavior isn't an X bug with no other explanation. Is xset not part of X? Or it considered a kernel bug or something? I still run 5.04 (!) on one of my machines and the bug is -at least- that old, which makes it over 4.5 years old!)
