Nah, it would be fine for emergencies. For example, suppose your GUI
interface freezes, orca dies or at least stops responding. You would
still be able to get to a character console and start killing processes.
Another thing would be that you could have speakup read boot messages
via the PC speaker so at least you'd know it is booting.

Since the PC speaker is driven from one bit with no smoothing or filtering,
the results would probably be nothing short of ghastly.
I seem to recall an experimental dos TTS that tried it with expected
results.

I remember there used to be a way to use the pc speaker as a sound

through alsa itself. A quick web search gives me a linux journal
article from 1997, but nothing besides that. So, short of checking the
config choices for a modern 4.x kernel, I don't know if this is still
an option. Even if it is still an option, I suspect the speech
wouldn't be very intelligible.

Is there any way to get speakup to work through the PC speaker?
