Why not?
I have read somewhere that someone (one of the TOPLAP dudes, I think)
actually made a performance using only those.

But anyways, I get your point (and I agree), however, I have been
performing with a computer for 13 years or so and a trick I learned
very early on (like, after the first rehearsal) is that one turns off
all annoying sounds of the desktop on a computer that one intends to
do audio with.  Does it really have to be governed by the audio server
I choose to use?  I think that I prefer to turn all that stuff off
forever.

And the all time winner of the most annoying sounds is the a major
chord from apple computer when you boot it...  Especially through the
PA system when you least expect it.
