I just gave up and use  xset -b  to turn off the beeps.  The other thing to
do is hide inside a screen(1) so that you can turn them into a visual bell
(background flash).

The R31 doesn't have a hardware mixer, but IIRC, it might have had a
separate mixer channel for the speaker/beep volume.  (But it was a different
sound chip and of cause it's actually an Acer...)
