System audible beep
Corona688 THANX. The problem is with #1 apparently since I had taken care of 2-3. So are you saying for #1 that I can only invoke a beep from a virtual console using echo command and must use xset in an X-window?
I have (#4?) P C Speak unmuted and set to 80% in alsamixer -c2 is that what you meant by enabling the channel?

muroar_beep(3) muRoar Programmer's Manual muroar_beep(3)
NAME
muroar_beep - Send notify beep to RoarAudio sound daemon
SYNOPSIS
#include <muroar.h>
int muroar_beep (muroar_t fh);
DESCRIPTION
This function sends a notify beep to the sound daemon fh is connected to. fh need to be connected using muroar_connect(3) to a sound
server supporting the RoarAudio protocol and the BEEP command.
RETURN VALUE
On success this call return 0. On error, -1 is returned.
NOTES
The beep is canceld at the server side as soon as the connection is closed. This means that you should not close the connection before the
beep is played completely.
BUGS
This commands requests the server for a default beep. No other kind of beep can be send. There is in addition no way to tell the actual
length of the beep. The application should at least wait a bit more than 512ms before closing the socket. In case possible it is good to
wait a minimum of about one secound to be really sure the beep ended.
HISTORY
This function first appeared in muRoar version 0.1rc2.
