Hi,
with the pcspkr module installed, shouldn't I hear the beep through the
sound card that otherwise would be played by a little loudspeaker

pcspkr might be the wrong module. You might want snd-pcsp instead.
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.
