Hi,

 	I'm changing the behaviour of Beep / PC Beep controls for HDA 
drivers (comments?):

http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-kernel.git;a=commitdiff;h=d605dbeed1b102136513e09e95217e8dc19c800d

 	I would like to introduce uniform naming for these controls 
to not confuse users.

HDA driver: Beep, PC Beep
AC97: PC Speaker, Beep, PC Beep
etc..

 	I think that the original purpose of PC Speaker is a beep 
generator. Also, many SoC platforms use AC97 codecs, so removing 
abbreviation PC might make sense. It would be probably best to change all 
control names in drivers to 'Beep'. Comments?
