Everything I've reported has been using metacity. If I turn on desktop effects (which switches to compiz, if I'm not mistaken), I don't get any system bells at first. If I enable the PC speaker (modprobe pcspkr and xset b on), then I get the expected beeps with the expected repeat rate.

So point (d) is not a Pulse Audio issue, as I had claimed. Should it be reported again metacity, libcanberra, or both (or something else)? Separately, there the issue of not having any bell in compiz, but my feeling is that that would be suitably mitigated by addressing (b) [and maybe (a) and (c)].

Thanks for the insight.
