Thanks.  Thanks to Martin we know this bug seems to have been
introduced for him in v2.6.30-rc1 (more precisely: ALSA: hda - Use
digital beep for AD codecs, 2009-02-06).  I suspect it may have been
fixed on at least some systems by v2.6.35-rc1~478^2~1^2~24^2~3 (ALSA:
hda-intel - AD1984 thinkpad - add analog beep input control,
2010-03-26).

But that is only a wild guess.  Could you test with the kernel from
testing, sid, or experimental?
