Thanks :-)

That does not sound like the "true" beep (the one coming from the 
motherboard) but a system sound (which outputs to the external sepakers). 
I'm afraid you have lost the real beep, not only under emacs but on the 
whole system :-?

Hum... I'm starting to remember that GNOME changed something related to 
this not so far ago and now canberra handles this.

(searching...)

Here it is one bug opened for this matter:

Metacity should not handle sounds for system bell events
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=607906

So maybe we have to focus in making emacs to play fine with canberra but 
I'm totally lost here, let's see if someone else can provide any tip.
