Looks reasonable.
The alternative would be to synchronize the X11 bell volume and the
"event" role volume bidirectionally (so that "xset b" also sets the
"event" role volume). However, that would be a lot of new code
(XRecord?), and we don't know who else sets the X11 bell volume and
when, so let's use the simple solution of ignoring it.
