With a little speaker plugged into the mainboard, I can install either
pcspkr or snd-pcsp and in both cases, the beep comes from the little
speaker and never from the sound card.  I cannot install both modules at
once, and without any of them, the speaker doesn't beep.

What's the difference between these modules?  Does snd-pcsp make the
little speaker available to alsa like a sound card?  There is a slider
labled "Beep" in alsamixer, and it doesn't seem to do anything.
