Hello.

That depends on the speaker itself.
If it is large enough (not a piezo
tablet), then the sound probably
matches the telephone. :)

I know it is used because people are
mailing me about it. Mainly on servers
I think, as on a desktop its value it
really questionable. :)
The real problem is that the board
manufacturers put the piezo beepers
these days, and also nvidia already
excluded the necessary capabilities
from their NForce chipset. So in the
future it may indeed became out of
the use.
By the way, you may be surprised, but
I am still being asked by various people
to write an LPT DAC (Covox) sound driver
(the ancient OSS-based pc-speaker driver
supported also that).
I guess people just like to use all
the hardware they have, even if it is
not really very usefull.
