I feel for the poor NOC engineers at my colo that freak out when some random server in a farm of thousands starts making bizarre sounds.

I detest test_winsound.  There are so many corner cases you need to account for that makes the test pointless as you end up wrapping everything in except: pass blocks.  Does the system have a legacy beep driver?  Is it enabled?  Is it disabled?  Is there a sound card?  Is it enabled or disabled?  Pah!

+1 to removing audio out of -uall, if only for the sake of cats, erroneously red buildbots, and poor ServerCentral NOC engineers.

        Trent.
