That module has pulseaudio catch the X beep and turn it into a sound effect (out the sound card/speakers), similar to what metacity does. If you are running compiz instead of metacity, you would use that module to get a sound file played instead of a PC speaker beep. The real problem is that metacity takes the decision away from the user; it is hard coded to catch the X beep itself, and you _can't_ have PC speaker beeps with metacity, only sound effects. There's a year-old bug in the GNOME Bugzilla to revert that (especially since it makes a lot more sense for pulseaudio to do it, not the window manager), but it has been ignored by the metacity developer(s). https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=607906 -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
