I also get a short muffled buzz when I run "leds beep", but the system
doesn't not stop responding. If I do
/usr/bin/beep -e /dev/input/event0
I get a clean sounding tone. It looks like /usr/bin/leds hard codes
the device as /dev/input/event1, but it seems that it should be event0
because event1 does not exist on my NSLU2.
According to the changelog of nslu2-utils, version 20080403-1 changed
the default device from event0 to event1.

* Beep using /dev/input/event1, not event0. This seems right with
both kernel versions I tested (2.6.24 and 2.6.25).
It looks like a bug has already been filed about this problem [1].
According to this bug report, one can do
beep -e /dev/input/by-path/platform-ixp4xx-beeper*
which works on my system.
Martin/Joey, can we get this fixed before lenny is released?
