NO. There is no (reasonable) way to do something like this.

About "PC" speaker volume, use a hardware "driver".

About "Redirect" - from ISA SB card ? - no easy solution, buy such a card, or BOCHS/QEMU - but then it will redirect to PCI sound card/chip, not "PC" speaker, and this might happen in future, no PCI sound support in HX now :-(

Very true ...

The cards are mostly crappy and undocumented :no: ... the PC speaker still works best for me ... but hogs much CPU performance, and newer PC's have mostly poor or no such speakers anymore :-(
