Comment 2 for bug 582350

This is not runtime configurable as claimed. /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/beep_mode is read-only (mode 444); the parameter can only be set at module load time.

(And did we really need to throw up _another_ roadblock for people who actually want a system beep, when there are already a half-dozen other things that need to be reconfigured or even recompiled before the speaker will emit so much as a whimper? See bug 486154.)
