DESCRIPTION

       This  function  sends a notify beep to the sound daemon fh is connected to.  fh need to be
       connected using muroar_connect(3) to a sound server supporting the RoarAudio protocol  and
       the BEEP command.

RETURN VALUE

NOTES

       The  beep  is  canceld  at the server side as soon as the connection is closed. This means
       that you should not close the connection before the beep is played completely.

BUGS

       This commands requests the server for a default beep. No other kind of beep can  be  send.
       There is in addition no way to tell the actual length of the beep.  The application should
       at least wait a bit more than 512ms before closing the socket.  In  case  possible  it  is
       good to wait a minimum of about one secound to be really sure the beep ended.
