Package: xterm
Version: 253-1
Severity: normal


"echo -e '\a'" with visual bell off fails to illicit any sound.

1) "xkbbell" causes a beep
2) "beep" causes a beep (although of a different tone)
3) "echo -e '\a'" in "pterm" causes a beep (same as xkbbell)
4) Trying to search for a non-present string in firefox causes a beep
(same as xkbbell)

I'm using a kernel compiled from vanilla 2.6.32.8 sources and the pcspkr
module from that to ensure console beeps.

~/.inputrc has "set bell-style audible" to ensure readline causes beeps

The only output of "xrdb -query | grep -i bell" is:
XTerm*visualBell:       false

If I toggle visual bell on in an xterm (using the Ctrl+Middle menu)
and reissue "echo -e '\a'" I 'see' the beep.

This was working until late last year.  Unfortunately I didn't realise
exactly when it stopped working (as I don't always perform an action
that would cause such a beep on a day to day basis).  The system has been
tracking testing on a more or less daily basis since around June 2009.

Hi.

Doing so, thank you both for confirming.
