Bug Description

Binary package hint: pulseaudio

Not sure if this is the right package.
After upgrading to Lucid sometime during the devel cycle my system beep(beep from motherboard) no longer is used except on power down i still get a beep or 2
I now get a "thud" from speakers and it is very annoying and doesn't sound good either. I know there is a bug on not using system beep anymore however i found the new way to be very annoying and off-putting for users new or been around a while.
Can we please bring the system beep back.
I removed the pcspkr line from blacklist file and still doesn't work. I had brought this up on devel-discuss mailing list and was asked to try removing it from blacklist and i did and no change no one commented any further, But IMHO this is a bug whether a feature or not.
