Bug#564200: More on this bug
I am also experiencing a lack of beeps, not only in xterm, but also in
rxvt, emacs23 (under both gnome and icewm, but not under the console),
and in my self-compiled ical calendar. Curiously, gnome-terminal
still beeps, both under gnome directly and under icewm.
This was also initiated by a recent update in squeeze/sid, and
certainly points to the xserver rather than any of these applications.
The discussion on Debian xterm bug #569539 also yields some insight,
as does a related Gentoo bug -- http://bugs.gentoo.org/290855.
