How to program a simple beep in Linux.
Now I have a mainboard which has a speaker, but needs to program using the sound device, I guess. Crt sound() does not work in this case.
Is there another solution as easy as sound() in the crt unit?

If talking about a simple console application not using unit Crt, you can issue a beep using "Write (#7)". Google helps you in finding various gotchas/limitations of this solution though (this topic has been discussed before, search for FPC, Linux, SysUtils.Beep and "Write (#7)").
