Did you actually try compiling a kernel without CONFIG_SND_HDA_INPUT_BEEP set? If you do, does your PC speaker work again?

Yes it works.  Even with CONFIG_SND_HDA_INPUT_BEEP set,
but without the module loaded.  See all the details at
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13651

If it does work again, I don't think there is a bug, at least not in the fact that the old PC speaker beep no longer works: if you have a HDA soundcard in the system _and_ the driver is loaded _and_ CONFIG_SND_HDA_INPUT_BEEP is set, then it seems logical to me that that takes over system beeps. The fact that the config option also existed in 2.6.29 but did not work the same seems a minor issue to me.

Original issue was that I didn't know what to do.

If it really does sound bad, maybe the ALSA developers could look into that, but you will have to describe it better (or maybe make a recording?).

There was another, unrelated bug, fixed for 2.6.31-tobe.
