[maemo-developers] Make a speaker beep in Python

[From: Steve Greenland]

This seems fairly basic, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it.

I just want a "beep", a noise. I don't need/want a sound file (but
if that's the only answer...). The obvious answer would seem to be
gtk.gdk.beep(), but that doesn't seem to work. Yes, I do have the volume
turned up, and have enabled the various system sounds in the "Sounds"
control panel. (By way of example, the sound made when I adjust the
"Master volume" control in the "Sounds" panel is *exactly* the noise I'm
looking for.)

Any pointers?

Thanks,
Steve
