[parisc-linux] Missing beep... and music too

the \b should elicit a beep from the system speaker. I know the 712's have 
one (at least my 712/80i does.) Yes, it is a seperate system from the 
sound card. Which leads into another issue that I meant to write here 
about...

I just got X working on my 712/80i the other day. So, I'd now like to get 
mpg321 working. I start esd from the command line and it makes several 
tones... but they come from the PC speaker, not through the sound card 
output. When I try to play something with mpg321, I tell it to use esd 
with the following command line:

mpg321 -o esd filename.mp3

the output consists of :
Illegal Instruction

anyone know why this is? should I be using esd, which seems to only use 
the internal sound instead of the real sound card hardware?

thanks,
