sound – Turn off sound except beep (ALSA, Pulseaudio)
I use short beep tone in X.org. I want to keep sound muted (or at minimum volume) except the beep. I use ALSA. I need beep from xterm or applications that beep using X.org (xscreensaver).
How can I turn off all sound except beep from ALSA?

Do you mean a PC speaker beep, or a beep using an ALSA/Pulseaudio device? Which application produces the beep, and how does it produce it (ALSA library, Pulseaudio library, some other library)?
