[LAD] Replacement for KbdCtl.bell

[Peter]

Dear All,

inspired by the "A History of Audio on Linux somewhere?" I took a look at my
very old Linux Audio projects.

I have one which amazingly still compiles, namely FeigenSound from the Linux Magazin 03/2001,
however I can't hear the output, even when the pcspkr module is loaded.
I assume that todays Laptops just don't have speaker anymore.

There I was using the  KbdCtl.bell_* to generate tones with a given frequency and duration:

         // switch to new state
         KbdCtl.bell_percent = 100;
         KbdCtl.bell_pitch = Frequency;
         KbdCtl.bell_duration = Duration;
         XChangeKeyboardControl(pDisplay, KBBellPercent | KBBellPitch | KBBellDuration, &KbdCtl);


Is there still such a simple method available to generate a tone with a given duration and frequency.
Of course I could generate a corresponding array and send it to jackd, I'm just looking for something simple.

Best regards,
Peter
