Hi Alan.

ps didn't show any "-audiobell" flag until I edited
/usr/dt/config/Xservers directly..hrmm... Should I be
able to control the speaker volume through something
such as /bin/audioplay -v 20 -d /dev/audio now? I've
tried -d /dev/audio as well as -d /dev/audioctl but there
there seems to be no system beep a'tall. It does work to
run play /usr/share/sounds/gtk-events/activate.wav however.
Is this the intended action of -audiobell?


Thanks
