beep fails, but exits 0 (unless strace'd) #8

Not sure how to debug this yet, so I'm just providing some info that I'm guessing is at least bug worthy: the exit status should be non-zero, I believe (as you can see errors occur, via strace)

beep itself:

$ beep -v
beep-1.3
$ beep # exits 0, no sound

straced, changes exit status:

$ strace beep # exits 1, no sound
