Donald, I fear you've mis-understood what this bug is about. We are trying to get the system beep to come out of the PC speaker, which is that speaker on your motherboard that can only play square waves. You probably don't want to use this for your video conferencing, unless you'll be talking to R2D2 :). I'm guessing that you're going to have to figure out how to get your tool to work with Pulse Audio (or figure out how to kill Pulse Audio before launching your application). If you think you've found a problem with Ubuntu, I think you should open a new bug; your problem seems unrelated to this one.
