Wow, I had no idea people were so attached to the PC speaker! :) Is the PC speaker really relevant to userland today in 2017?
Yes. It works everywhere, even in the boot loader.
Does my change disable it in the bootloader? My impression is that besides indicating POST errors, it isn't really useful once the computer boots up--except for almost giving you a heart attack when you're using GTK programs!
No, there are other places. It can remind one that Grub is starting, so that it is the instant to choose another boot option; that's one place. It is supposed to beep when you hit ctrl-alt-backspace in X, the first time; ie, to warn of big errors. It can be used to warn of alerts, that there is an important message in syslog to look at.
Well, since your case seems to be the minority here, why not just add a blacklist for your own machine(s) and not touch openSUSE?
Contrary to impressions, I don't have anything against the PC speaker. :) I'm just curious. However I haven't met anyone who likes the horrible jarring beeps in GTK programs! I do plan to submit a patch to turn those (and only those) off for everyone, so nobody else has to almost have a heart attack when they hit the up arrow key in a text field.
I use XFCE, which uses GTK, and I don't remember a beep. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
