The audio bell is painfully loud when I use my headphones on my laptop. I successfully disabled it in the terminal using [cmd=]kbdcontrol -b 0.0[/cmd]. For Xorg I tried [cmd=]xset -b[/cmd], however it disables it only in some cases, like pressing backspace on an empty line in xterm. In other cases, like when there is no match when I do a "find" in Firefox, it still painfully beeps.
If I understand correctly, this beep is handled at a lower level, and bypasses the audio driver. The mixer settings have no effect on its volume. I do not know what system interface it uses exactly, however. If I knew, I could recompile the relevant parts.
Q: How can I globally (in the order of preference):
Any help is welcome!
P.S. This is my day 3 using FreeBSD, and this is the first UNIX-like system I own.

Q: How can I globally (in the order of preference):
- customize the beep with an arbitrary PCM audio?
- get it affected by the mixer volume?
- turn it off?
