Detlef, I've written the description of the package myself, so no need
to tell me reading it :)

The description doesn't claim that it will work without using of any
commandline option on all systems - that was the main purpose for
introducing the -e switch. It's not a "workaround" like Henri likes to
call it, it is the expected behavior.

 Maybe switching from probing /dev/input/event0 to /dev/input/by-path
/platform-pcspkr-event-spkr might be someting to think about, though
that would limit its usage to udev using systems, which I would like to
avoid.and would propably turn into a regression.

If you say that platform-pcspkr-event-spkr doesn't produce any sound for
you neither - do you have that symlink at all? Does PC speaker beeps
like shell backspace in the first character or similar beep for you? If
not it's not a beep problem, you should get pc speaker beeps working at
all for a start.
