Has any decision been made how this will be permanently accommodated?

I've taken to adding it into the entry in /etc/modprobe.conf that loads 
your alsa driver, but others may want a way to make the pc speaker work 
and don't have a sound card. Besides telling new Linux users to 
"modprobe pcspkr" as root every time they boot or edit a startup file to 
make their beep work is less than ideal.
