But even "IF" you do manage to play a sound in a cross platform manner; if the speaker volume is too low, or the speakers are turned off, or the computer does not have speakers connected, etc... your user will never hear the alert! In this case, beeping the built-in speaker has the fail-safe advantage. Why not wrap up the functionality and release a module yourself? If you are not sure how to access the speaker on one or more OSs then ask on the list. I would love to see some community effort behind this. PS: Better make sure this module does not exist though ;-)
