The equivalent can be done with the "input layer" in 2.6.
Open /dev/input/uinput and register yourself as a beep handler, and
you get the beeps instead of the speaker.
The following code does this (but doesn't claim to be well written,
portable, reliable, secure, or anything else).
It requires you do be runnig 'esd' and to have loaded some sample into
esd. The sample is played instead of any beep.
