As in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/331589/comments/14 have been already noticed,
disabling pc-speaker (even permanent) is not a fix.
I found pc-speaker useful when working in terminal,
but I only want to disable the monstrous beep on shutdown.
This was fine in Hardy (and Gutsy, Feisty, Edgy, ...) - beeps in terminal have worked and no beep on shutdown..
in Intrepid there was introduced a beep on shutdown - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/290204
that in Jaunty it became this horrible sound.

Please, if you are searching for a proper fix, do not try to disable pc-speaker.
The problem is that shutdown process calls it and it shouldn't.
