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. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
