Sure no problem. I'm not getting any GENERATE BEEP, or BEEP EVENT on 
dmesg, just the enable disable when I press the enable disable button. 
The switch reflects the correct state.

I've gone through the patch over and over, but I can't figure out why 
would it stop working. Shouldn't the switch alert the beep part about 
changes?

Also how should I test? I tried with 'echo -e "\\a"', beep and the old 
way that was driving me crazy (pressing del in pidgin when there's no 
more text).

Anyway here's the log just in case:
snd: Not freed snd_alloc_kmalloc = 18
