Hello Ralph,

Thanks for looking into it.

Both give the same:

> fm@m2:~$ xset q | grep bell
>   bell percent:  50    bell pitch:  400    bell duration:  100

Also, if I cnfigure xterm to use "visual bell", it works. The "bell"
seems to arive at the xterm, just does not sound. The "alsa side" is ok.
It works from the text-mode vts. All other sounds work also.

Regards
Friedhelm
