Opening Linux task:

<TheMuso> the config item for the kernel CONFIG_SND_HDA_INPUT_BEEP somehow got enabled again.
<seb128> pitti, I've a pc beep entry in alsamixer there
<TheMuso> jaunty's kernels have the hda beep disabled, and somehow it got re-enabled for karmic
<TheMuso> So to really really put a clamp on this, we turn it off, once again, in the kernel.
<TheMuso> it was accidentally reverted back in July, but since it didn't bother anyone, we didn't think to check it, but now its causing problems again, we can fix it.
<TheMuso> It was reverted due to some x86/lpia config consolidation.

So it seems to really fix this it needs to be disabled again in the kernel. However, that's a little too late for karmic final, so I propose to take the safe option and just disable the gconf key for keyboard bell by default. That won't help beeps for batteries, or beeps in VTs, but at least fix 80% of the trouble.
